Thanks for your patch!

Usually it's cleaner to use feature bits instead of enum types.

No check for RZ/Five or irq type?
.irq_ack() seems to be called for level interrupts, too
(from handle_level_irq() through mask_ack_irq()).

The above is identical to the old plic_irq_eoi()...

... so you can just call into plic_irq_ack() here?

I think this can be const.

This causes extra processing on non-affected PLICs.
Perhaps use a separate irq_chip instance?

This one clearly shows the discerning feature: onecell or twocell...

So perhaps instead just look at #interrupt-cells, and use the onecell
or twocell irq_chip/irq_domain_ops based on that?
