Not CCing apple-AIC maintainers was purely accidental.
Actually, I had started off ipi-mux with the intent to share across RISC-V irqchip drivers. Only in recent patch revisions (based on suggestion from Marc Z), I tried to converge and make it useful for apple-AIC driver as well. Unfortunately, I don't have apple HW for testing this so I was hoping someone will help.
Thanks to Marc Z, we now have a patch for apple-AIC driver as well.

Okay, I will include the apple-AIC patch from Marc Z in the next revision and add apple-AIC folks in CC.
