In order to build drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm7038-l1.c as a module (for use

irqd_set_single_target(irq_desc_get_irq_data(irq_to_desc(virq)));

This effectively reverts 64a1b95bb9fe ("genirq: Restrict export of

No. I'm not reexporting this. We've spent quite some time to prevent all
kind of drivers for fiddle with irq descriptors and I'm not going
to reopen that can of worms.

irq_get_irq_data() is exported and provides you what you need.

That is exactly what I was looking for and somehow missed it during my search the other day, thanks!
