[PATCH v3 0/3] irqchip: vf610-mscm: add support for MSCM interrupt router

Splitted out version of the MSCM driver. My first driver based on the
routeable domain support and was part of the Vybrid Cortex-M4 support
patchset.

So far the MSCM interrupt router was initialized by the boot loader
and configured all interrupts for the Cortex-A5 CPU. There are two
use cases where a proper driver is necessary:
- To run Linux on the Cortex-M4. When the kernel is running on the
  non-preconfigured CPU, the interrupt router need to be configured
  properly.
- To support deeper sleep modes: LPSTOP clears the interrupt router
  configuration, hence a driver needs to restore the configuration
  on resume.
I created a seperate patchset for that driver which hopefully makes
it easier to get it into mergeable state.

The patchset is based on the master branch of Linus as of today.

Since I identified some registers likely to be used by other drivers
(e.g. CPU ID or the CPU Generate Interrupt Register) I also added
the "syscon" compatible string to make the registers available for
other drivers in case needed.

Changes since v2
- Use two cell layout for MSCM interrupt router
- Move peripheral interrupt properties to base device tree vfxxx.dtsi
- Use generic two cell xlate (irq_domain_xlate_twocell)
- Add syscon to compatible string
- Remove some line breaks for better readability

Changes since v1 (part of Vybrid Cortex-M4 support)
- Rewrite with irqdomain hierarchy
- Implemented as proper irqchip and move to driver/irqchip/
- Doesn't work on Cortex-M4 anymore (NVIC as parent is not yet
  implemented)
