In case brcmstb PCIe driver and MIP MSI-X interrupt controller
drivers are built as modules there could be a race in probing.
To avoid this add a softdep to MIP driver to guarantee that MIP
driver will be load first.

Maybe this one too?  Should this be moved to after the irq_bcm2712_mip
driver is added, but before brcmstb will claim bcm2712?  I just want
to avoid bisection problems when possible, and it sounds like if we
lose the race, interrupts might not work as expected?

Makes sense, thank you.
