There is a couple of things that I don't like about these patches:

- Are you sure that all your interrupts are level? I appreciate that's
  a very common setting, but you seem to have simply decided that there
  wasn't any edge interrupt. Is that a "Let's see what breaks"
  situation? If so, It'd be good to state it.

- You've used the IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH macro everywhere, but didn't use
  the GIC_SPI macro as the first argument of each interrupt specifier.
  I'm by no mean a fan of these macros, but you should at least have
  some consistency inside an interrupt specifier.

Thanks,

	M.
