[PATCH 00/12] soc: fsl: qe: QE PIC improvement and add support of IRQs to QUICC ENGINE GPIOs

[Paul Louvel <paul.louvel@bootlin.com>]

This series modernizes the QUICC Engine Port Interrupt Controller (QE
PIC) driver and adds the ability for QE GPIO pins to generate interrupts
through the QE PIC, completing Christophe Leroy's prior work [1].

Christophe's series was partially merged; patches 4, 6 and 7 did not
make it to mainline.

The series is organized in three parts:

1) Add missing chained_irq_{enter,exit}() calls

   - In a chained handler, the parent controller need to mask and ack
     the interrupt source.

2) DT binding updates

   - Update #interrupt-cells from 1 to 2 in the QE PIC binding so
     consumers can encode the interrupt type (falling-edge or
     both-edges).

   - Convert the QE GPIO binding from freeform text to DT schema.

   - Extend the QE GPIO binding with an interrupt-map (nexus node) that
     maps GPIO lines to parent QE PIC interrupts.  This approach was
     suggested by Rob Herring [2] as an alternative to using compatible
     strings and driver data to specify which pins support interrupts in
     a given bank.

3) QE PIC driver refactoring

   - The QE PIC is a perfect fit to use the generic irq framework
     instead. Perform the necessary changes to the driver to convert it.

   - Minor cleanups.

4) QE GPIO interrupt support

   - Add a to_irq() method to the QE GPIO driver that perform the
     mapping of the GPIO pin to the parent interrupt domain, allowing
     GPIO pins to be used as interrupt sources through the QE PIC via
     gpio_to_irq().
