There was no answer to the original v3 patch. The comments of Marc was
back in the v2 set, and has been resolved in v3. However, no Ack from
Marc so far.

The bindings are straight forward interrupt-controller bindings, since
it uses the hierarchic irq domain stuff. The only uncommon thing is that
I also added "syscon" as compatible, since the module has functionality
which might be required by other drivers (e.g. register to generate
CPU2CPU interrupt or processor personality information).
