And thus none of that code needs to live in drivers/irqchip.

I don't like this stuff either. All this code is a glorified set of
interrupt handlers and #defines that only hide the lack of a proper DT
binding to express the interrupt routing (it feels like looking at
board files from 10 years ago).

None of that belongs in the irqchip code.

And? How hard is it to implement an indirection containing the
register map and the relevant callbacks? /roll-eyes
