Yes, I think we should have it in arm-soc, there would be a lot of nasty conflicts otherwise. It probably makes sense to also have it in the tip tree if since Thomas Gleixner as the IRQ maintainer is the owner of this subsystem, unless he has other preferences. I would also suggest adding the patch below to the series. Note that I don't care who is maintaining drivers/irqchip, and Rob might want to be listed as well, but Thomas mentioned a couple of months ago that he wanted to get Cc'd on irqchip drivers patches. 8<----- irqchip: add MAINTAINERS entry for drivers/irqchip The drivers/irqchip directory now contains generic irqchip drivers, so it makes sense to add them to the MAINTAINERS entry for the IRQ subsystem.
