It depends: if the driver is for the entire FPGA and does
the irqchip stuff in addition, it should probably live
in drivers/mfd. If it's a pure irqchip driver, drivers/irqchip
is better. You have to be careful in the second case though
because devices pointing to this irqchip in DT won't get
an IRQ resource assigned automatically but have to use
irq_of_parse_and_map instead. This may have been fixed since
I last looked though, I would consider that behavior a
bug in the of_platform handling.
