Elegance is, I'm afraid to say, bloody overrated when dealing with
this sort of crap.

Define 'part works'. Either it does, or it doesn't. There is no middle
ground here.

s/Mark/Marc/, unless you are talking about someone else (who?).

This is totally pointless. These machines have been in the wild for
years, and existing DTs will be there *forever*. The very notion of
'backporting' DT changes is totally ludicrous when it is some firmware
(ATF, u-boot, or something else *that isn't under your control*) that
provides the DT. It also breaks backward compatibility (old kernel
with new DT), which is just as important. Why do you think I went the
elegance-deprived route and added a quirk?

So no, I'm not taking the irqchip changes, as most of this churn
serves no purpose. The revert of 869f0ec048dc is the only thing that
makes some sense.
