Thomas,

it is okay for me - but thanks for the notice! I will comment below.

Actually, non-irqchip implementation of orion intc was based on generic
irq chip already. I took a look at drivers/irqchip and realized that
at least sunxi (ARM again) was reimplementing mask/unmask the way
above. So I took the short path and copied that.

So you are suggesting to have a "linux,generic-intc" or you want me
to have "marvell,orion-intc" make use of generic irq chip again?

The second is easy, the first will take me a while to think about
proper DT properties how to encode mask/unmask/ack/.. availability
and offsets.
