It is not a silly question. OF support in uio_pdrv_genirq can handle both cases
with/without IRQ (I tested it) and I don't want to add OF support to uio_pdrv.
Not sure if uio_pdrv_genirq without OF can handle UIO without IRQ.

I think the question is if uio_pdrv_genirq can handle both cases, if yes, we can
completely remove uio_pdrv. But it is up to UIO maintainers.

Sure - make sense.
