Why are you adding a conditional in all these functions instead of
having two interrupt chips with separate callbacks and irqdata?

And looking at GIC_SET_INTR_MASK(irq) makes me shudder even more. The
whole thing can be replaced with the generic interrupt chip functions.

If you set it up proper, then there is not a single conditional or
runtime calculation of bitmasks, address offsets etc.
