Ping? Is this a good entry?

One problem is that there may be 'brcmstb' drivers for MIPS as well as
ARM. But on that train of thought: there are several drivers which are
already somewhat inaccurately-listed. The following are listed under
either the BCM7XXX ARM subarchitecture or BMIPS MIPS subarchitecture,
though they are actually used on both:

drivers/bus/brcmstb_gisb.c
drivers/irqchip/irq-brcmstb-l2.c
drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm7120-l2.c
