Thomas,

using ARCH_MVEBU for enabling irq-armada-370-xp here will lead to
incompatibilities with Orion SoCs when they move over to ARCH_MVEBU.
Although, it is ok for the moment please choose either a CONFIG_
common for both Armada 370 and XP.

With a Kconfig within drivers/irqchip you could define a
ARMADA_370_XP_IRQ and select that in MACH_ARMADA_370 and MACH_ARMADA_XP
or MACH_ARMADA_370_XP, which all already exist.

As soon as the patch is through, I can provide (and use) a irq-orion
based on irqchip. I can provide it earlier but to actually use it there
are still some other patches required on Dove. Other Orions could
switch now, I guess.
