 Aww, I have duplicated your effort it would seem and came up with an 
almost identical change (which sort of proves the obviousness), which I 
needed to make my life easier with the verification of the serial driver 
fixes I have recently made to make the platform usable again.

 My apologies to appear unfair to you.  Sadly I have lost track of your 
submission (which has sat in my inbox along with other 20k+ old messages) 
and genuinely wrote this stuff from scratch.

 Your addition of:

#include <linux/interrupt.h>

to arch/mips/include/asm/dec/reset.h is still in principle required for 
the `irqreturn_t' data type to be directly pulled, as pointed out by AI 
review, so it's a good opportunity to have it applied on top.

 I'm coming back after a fortnight away on holiday and still catching up, 
but will get back to your patches ASAP now that I'm back in business with 
this DEC stuff.  Sadly one machine's PSU has fried in the course of final 
verification of serial driver fix backports, so I'll have to set some time 
aside in July to get the unit (hopefully) repaired.

 Please ping again if I don't come back by mid July.  Thank you for your 
patience and understanding.
