Not at the moment. But do you want me to put that in a branch, and
agglomerate all the related patches (posted by Rob for GIC/VIC and by
you for the FPGA IRQ controller), and then later send a pull request to
Arnd with those changes?

Also, again, the whole point of the initial infrastructure in
drivers/irqchip/ was to avoid adding per-driver header files in
include/linux/irqchip/, so there should at least be a long term plan on
how to remove those headers file, either by moving more platforms to
DT, or my extending the irqchip infrastructure to cover more features.

Best regards,

Thomas
