Hi Vaishnav,

Thanks for your patch!

My first thought was: that's a hefty size increase for two rather
small drivers!  So I enabled these two options in one of my own kernel
configs, and saw a size increase of only 7872 bytes...

However, on arm64 defconfig, this has indeed a much bigger impact,
as it also (re)enables several other drivers that depend on the
irqchip symbols.

You probably want to mention that in the commit message...
