Merge tag 'irqchip-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms into irq/core
Pull irqchip updates from Marc Zyngier - The huge (and terrifying) TI INTR/INTA set of drivers - Rewrite of the stm32mp1-exti driver as a platform driver - Update the IOMMU MSI mapping API to be RT friendly - A number of cleanups and other low impact fixes
