[PATCH 0/8] irqchip/stm32-exti: split MCU and MPU code, allow module build

The file 'irq-stm32-exti.c' contains two drivers:
- EXTI for ARMv7m STM32 MCUs;
- EXTI for ARMv7a & ARMv8a STM32MPxxx MPUs.

The current arrangement causes some issue:
- the growing code for MPUs uses precious space on memory constraint
  MCUs devices;
- the driver for MPU cannot be built as module;
- there are risks to break one of the two drivers while working on
  the other.

Since there are only 4 minor functions shared among the two drivers:
- stm32_exti_set_type();
- stm32_chip_resume();
- stm32_chip_suspend();
- stm32_exti_chip_init();

this series splits the file in two independent files, each containing
a single driver.
To guarantee bisect-ability, the series first introduces some hook in
Kconfig, then splits the file and at the end enables module build on
MPU while cleaning-up Kconfig.
The symbols in the MPU file are renamed to better match the new name
of the driver.

The patches are created with 'git format-patch -C' to correctly show
the deleted parts and the tiny modifications between the original
monolithic file and the two extracted ones.

The series is rebased on irq/core branch of tip as it depends on a
previous series already queued for v6.10 merge window.


Antonio Borneo (8):
  irqchip/stm32-exti: add CONFIG_STM32MP_EXTI
  ARM: stm32: use different EXTI driver on ARMv7m and ARMv7a
  arm64: Kconfig: select STM32MP_EXTI on STM32 platforms
  irqchip/stm32-exti: split MCU and MPU code
  irqchip/stm32mp-exti: rename internal symbols
  irqchip/stm32mp-exti: allow build as module
  ARM: stm32: allow build irq-stm32mp-exti driver as module
  arm64: Kconfig: allow build irq-stm32mp-exti driver as module
