Ok, I will remove usless includes.

Besides local_pin_offset , nid, and reg_offset are also useful information which will be used
in next patch.

For each mbigen chip, the register space of mbigen node between each other is discontinuous.
So, I need to find the mbigen node number(nid) and pin offset within this mbigen node
(local_pin_offset). Based on them, I can get the corresponding register address.

msi_irq is is initialized in next patch.

Yes, they have different virq number. My explanation about this
problem is list at last.

I think this is used for hierarchy structure. My interrupt controller is not
hierarchy structrue.

dev_irq is stored for easily using in next patch when interrupt happened.

This global list is used to find out mbigen device when initializing the mbigen
device as a platform device in next patch.

Because there are several mbigen chips in this system, and each mbigen chip also
contains several mbgien devices.

I need a list contains all of the mbigen devices which connect to these mbigen
chips.
Then, during mbigen chip initializing, we can use this list to find out mbigen devices
and pass mbigen_device data structure.

Mbigen chip hardware structure shows as below:

		mbigen chip
|---------------------|-------------------|
mgn_node0	  mgn_node1		mgn_node2
 |		 |-------|		|-------|------|
dev1		dev1    dev2		dev1   dev3   dev4



Irq chip hierarchy stucture:
		
	ITS
	 |
	ITS-pMSI
	 | (virq1)
|--------| -----------------|
mbigen-device1		mbigen-device2
 | (virq2)		 | (virq2)
devices(uart)		device(gmac)


I named virq1 as msi_irq , virq2 as dev-irq and ,virq1 != virq2.

Each virq2 has a corresponding virq1.

Mbigen-device is a special hardware.
On the one hand, it's a platform device for ITS. We need to
allocate the msi-irqs for it.(handled in patch 2/3)

On the other hand, it's a interrupt controller for the devices connected to it.(handled in current patch).

To bind these two different irqs, I made a data sutruce named mbigen_irq_data
which contains some information  of this irq, including private index, pin_offset, nid,
and local_pin_offset.

All these information can help us to find the corresponding reg addr and msi_irq quickly.


Thanks!
