I believe there is a way to make this work without too much hassle. I
suggest we drop the ITS change from this patch entirely, and I instead
queue this patch:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git/commit/?h=irq/irqchip-4.12&id=e6db07d0f3b6da1f8cfd485776bfefa4fcdbfc45

That way, no dependency between the two trees. Lorenzo takes all the
patches flagged "ACPI", I take all those flagged "irqchip" or "msi", and
everything should be perfectly standalone.

Thoughts?
