This patch set extends the functionality of the irq-brcmstb-l2 interrupt controller driver to cover a hardware variant first introduced in the BCM7271 SoC. The main difference between this variant and the block found in earlier brcmstb SoCs is that this variant only supports level sensitive interrupts and therefore does not latch the interrupt state based on edges. Since there is no longer a need to ack interrupts with a register write to clear the latch the register map has been changed. Therefore the change to add support for the new hardware block is to abstract the register accesses to accommodate different maps and to identify the block with a new device-tree compatible string. I also took the opportunity to make some small efficiency enhancements to the driver. One of these was to make use of the slightly more efficient irq_mask_ack method. However, I discovered that the defined irq_gc_mask_disable_reg_and_ack() generic irq function was insufficient for my needs. The first three commits of this set are intended to be a correction of the existing generic irq implementation to provide a function that can be used by interrupt controller drivers for their irq_mask_ack method when disable/enable registers are used for masking and interrupts are acknowledged by setting a bit in an ack register. I believe these first three commits should be added to the irq/core repository and possibly stable branches. The remaining commits should be added to the irqchip/core repository but I have included the complete set here for improved context since the irqchip patches are dependent on the irq patches. This entire set is therefore based on the irq/core master branch. Please let me know if you would like a different packaging. If the changes to genirq are not acceptable I can implement the irq_mask_ask method locally in the irq-brcmstb-l2 driver and submit that on its own.
