This one is a plain IRQ controller. It has simple input lines, not GPIO pins. The chip reports its status to upper level interrupt controller. The upper level controller is PXA GPIO in this case.

I cannot know for sure, as I don't have board datasheets or drawings. I suspect, this clears GPIO line which reports interrupts to the upper level controller.

I guess if it's used for > the UARTs then yes, but make a case for it... PXA isn't DT-only at the moment. As a result, it is impossible to use IRQCHIP_DECLARE(). So drivers for the on-CPU IRQs and GPIO-IRQs are loaded using postcore_initcall(). We need to have all irq domain drivers loaded prior to DT parsing in order to allow normal initialization of IRQ resources with DT. I'll update the commit message. The rest of review comment are implemented. The changes don't affect any other patches in the series. Should I repost the whole series? Or only this patch?
