I did some quick test with BD71815 which I had at home. And it seems to
be I did indeed misunderstand this :) This is not for converting the
main-IRQ bits to sub-irq registers - this is for getting the sub-IRQ
register address based on the 'sub IRQ register index'.

So I do apologize the noise, it seems all is well and everything
(except my self confidence) keeps working as it did :)

Thanks for the improvement Guru Das!
