Sorry about the confusion; as suggested by you and Arnd, these two patches
are the minimal changes required on irqchip's side to make the port build,
without introducing any non-reviewed pieces of code. I originally wanted to
send the patches then quickly reply you in the asm-generic thread, but
unfortunately I lost Internet connectivity at my site until you have replied.

You are knowledgeable, and have taught me much; I owe you many thanks.
However, as my native language is not English, I realize I may sound impolite
or inappropriate from time to time, making some of you unhappy. (Actually I
had to ask Xuerui to translate this reply for me, in case I get something
wrong again.) I'll try to improve in the future and I hope you'll understand.

Apologizes for the confusion again,

Huacai
