25eaaabb51 irqchip/mvebu-gicp: Use level-triggered MSIs between ICU and GICP
The ICU and GICP drivers are using an ugly side-band mechanism to
find out about the "clear" doorbell when using level interrupts.

Let's convert it to level-triggered MSIs, which result in a nice
cleanup.

e0de91a977 irqchip/irq-mvebu-icu: Add new driver for Marvell ICU
The Marvell ICU unit is found in the CP110 block of the Marvell Armada
7K and 8K SoCs. It collects the wired interrupts of the devices located
in the CP110 and turns them into SPI interrupts in the GIC located in
the AP806 side of the SoC, by using a memory transaction.

Until now, the ICU was configured in a static fashion by the firmware,
and Linux was relying on this static configuration. By having Linux
configure the ICU, we are more flexible, and we can allocate dynamically
the GIC SPI interrupts only for devices that are actually in use.

The driver was initially written by Hanna Hawa <hannah@marvell.com>.
