This basically looks OK, but a few comments/thoughts:

a) Should the Kconfig change be a separate patch since it's a separate
subsystem?

b) Doesn't the driver need to refuse some operation (handler
registration, IRQ setup, IRQ enable, ...?) for more than 1 IRQ in the
FIQ range, since the FIQ control register only allows routing 1 IRQ to FIQ.

c) The DT binding needs updating to describe the extra IRQs:

d) I wonder how the FIQ handler actually gets routed to this controller
and hooked to its handler etc. I assume there's a separate patch for
that coming?

BTW, I'll be on vacation for just over a couple weeks starting Saturday,
so responses will certainly be delayed for a quite a while.
