PASEMI: PA6T board doesn't boot with the RC1 of kernel 4.2 anymore

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hi All,

Many thanks for your help. You're right. It was something wrong with my 
last bisect. I did another bisect. I evaluated the one "sometimes boots" 
with good.

     genirq: Introduce struct irq_common_data to host shared irq data

     With the introduction of hierarchy irqdomain, struct irq_data becomes
     per-chip instead of per-irq and there may be multiple irq_datas
     associated with the same irq. Some per-irq data stored in struct
     irq_data now may get duplicated into multiple irq_datas, and causes
     inconsistent view.

     So introduce struct irq_common_data to host per-irq common data and to
     achieve consistent view among irq_chips.
