9297a0e7e0 mfd: twl4030-core irq simplification
Simplify twl4030 IRQ handling by removing a needless custom flow
handler.  The top level IRQs, from the PIH, are well suited for
handle_simple_irq() ... they can't be acked or masked.

Switching resolves some issues with how IRQs were dispatched.
Notably, abuse of desc->status, IRQ accounting, and handling
of various faults.

In short, use standard genirq code.

Drivers that request_irq() to the PIH will need to pay more
attention to things like setting IRQF_DISABLED (since it's
no longer ignored), and making I2C calls from handlers (you'll
need a lockdep workaround).

a603a7fa87 mfd: TWL4030 core driver
This patch adds the core of the TWL4030 driver, which supports
chips including the TPS65950.  These chips are multi-function; see

  http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tps65950.html

Public specs are in the works.  For now, the block diagram on
the second page of the datasheet is fairly informative.

There are some known issues with this core code.  Most notably,
the IRQ dispatching needs simplification (to use more of genirq),
generalization (integrating support for secondary IRQ dispatch
as well as primary, and removing the build dependency on OMAP),
and then probably updating to leverage threaded IRQ support
(expected to arrive in mainline "soon").

Once the core is in mainline, drivers for other parts of this
chip can follow its lead and start swimming upstream too.
