Hi Thierry,

thanks for your suggestions.

I was thinking the same. :-) Specifically, using
irq_domain_add_legacy() already builds upon available DT nodes. DT for
irq in turn seems to require irqdomain. So  would only split those two
on explicit request of reviewers when we have a reasonable solution to
this dilemma. Otherwise, I'd keep it in one patch.

As Arnd wrote, there are board specific bits left (open questions
about how to DT'ize spi's controller_data, and DT-conversion of AMBA
CLCD). However, I will move board-independent stuff over to common.c.
(Keeping lpc32xx_auxdata_lookup[] in phy3250.c due to remaining
platform_data, though.)

Correct, clock framework is on my list of following patches.

Correct. This will be done in the later patch regarding spi controller
DT conversion. Still discussing this with Grant. For now, I'm
considering the above hunk as just moving around the resp. lines
without change. Please let me keep it until the SPI issue is solved.

Thanks,

Roland
