Re: [PATCH] irqchip: gic-v3: Explicitly include linux/io.h

[Ben Zhang]

This patch is not really needed. The build failure on our v3.18-based
kernel is fixed by cherry-picking commit 332fd7c4fef5 ("genirq:
Generic chip: Change irq_reg_{readl,writel} arguments") which is
actually a functional no-op. This patch could help prevent future
build failure in case linux/io.h is later removed from linux/irq.h.
Since the irq-gic-v3 driver uses the read/write io functions, it might
be better to include linux/io.h explicitly.

Thanks,
Ben
