What's happened is that:

-	c = irq_data_get_irq_chip(d);
-	if (!c->irq_set_affinity)
-		pr_debug("IRQ%u: unable to set affinity\n", d->irq);

has become:

+	c = irq_data_get_irq_chip(d);
+	if (!c->irq_set_affinity) {
+		pr_warn_ratelimited("IRQ%u: unable to set affinity\n", d->irq);

which makes things more noisy.

This is a change that was not described in the commit message for the
patch Thomas merged.

So, I think the right thing to do is to drop the patch set and revert
back to what we knew was sane, and get the submitter to do the job
properly: cleanly move the code from one location to another with _no_
changes what so ever, convert ARM and ARM64 to use it, and _then_ to
modify the resulting code.

identical.

I'm certainly dropping this from the ARM tree.
