Hello,

Thanks for the quick feedback!

tri-state would be fine I believe, it's indeed a secondary interrupt
controller, not essential for booting the platform.

But then I probably need to rework PATCH 3/4 and not have it
unconditionally selected by the platform Kconfig option, right?

Regarding what else is attached to the PIC, I have no idea, I don't
have this information.

There isn't anything youngest or oldest between 7K and 8K, they both
got released at the same time. They are really the same family of SoCs,
the 7K having only one CP110, the 8K having two of them, which provides
more I/Os.

For several other IPs, we're using armada-8k as the compatible string:

 * marvell,armada8k-pcie
 * marvell,armada-8k-xhci

(Yes you will already notice how consistent we are in the naming of the
compatible string :-/).
