Thanks. Of course, so now, I have:

The number of interrupt controllers registered as unique irqchips
shows a rising tendency. For example, subdrivers of different kinds
such as GPIO controllers avoid reimplementing identical callback
mechanisms as the IRQ core system by modelling their interrupt
handlers as irqchips, i.e., in effect cascading interrupt controllers.
