[PATCH 0/2] irqchip: Armada 370/XP MPIC as a slave controller

The newly introduced Armada 375 and Armada 38x Marvell SoCs are based on
Cortex-A9 CPU cores and use the ARM GIC as their main interrupt controller.

However, for various purposes (wake-up from suspend, MSI interrupts),
the SoCs have a separate MPIC interrupt controller, acting as a slave
to the GIC. This MPIC was already used as the primary controller on
previous Marvell SoCs, so this commit extends the existing driver to
allow the MPIC to be used as a GIC slave.

This series consists in two patches: the first one adds a helper function
to handle MSI interrupts. The second patch implements a chained handler, which
uses the previously introduced helper.

These patches apply cleanly on v3.14-rc1 plus:

  36802fd irqchip: armada-370-xp: fix MSI race condition
  e1603bb irqchip: armada-370-xp: fix IPI race condition

Or simply on v3.14-rc2.
