Please drop this blurb from all your patches. It adds zero information.
OK, will be removed.

No cover letter, no indication of what this applies on, no mention
of how this relates to the ongoing irqchip review.

What do you want me to do with this?
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.

No worries. English isn't my native language either, and I somehow developed
a thick skin when it comes to perceived attitude. So please don't apologise,
and keep working with us.

Thanks,

M.
