Ok, I will mark it as OWL SoC's here.

Ok, I will change this into "actions,s700-sirq"

Agreed for sirq-shared-reg.

But for s900 sirq-reg-offset, the register offset will have different values.
So this shall not be removed.

Yes, I agree for all the existing Owl SoC's this remains same.

In the previous version we defined this as constant in the code. But based on Marc's
feedback I understood that this value should come from Device Tree instead on hard
coding in the code.

Sure, I will maintain only s700 here.
