Looks like this fell through the cracks?
The two other patches from this series were applied in v6.1.

Note that the current DT bindings are incorrect, as they do not take into
account that the value of zero is used to represent the NMI.

Fixes: 96fed779d3d4cb3c ("dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Add
Renesas RZ/G2L Interrupt Controller")

Should we resend instead?
Thanks!
