Hi,

In the future we will have more features using the DSI interrupts, like ULPS
handling, and making use-case specific hooks into the main IRQ handler would
become burdensome.

This patch set cleans up the DSI IRQ handling a bit by implementing a generic
way to register/unregister interrupt service routines. This allows us to remove
the use-case specific callbacks from the main IRQ handler.
Would this make it more easy/difficult to migrate to irq_chip(if needed) 
later on? I guess it will atleast bring dispc and dsi irq 
requesting/handling in a similar state, hence the changes needed to move 
to irq_chip would be the same for both.
Well, I'm not really familiar with irq_chip, but I don't see how this
could make it more difficult. It divides the code in cleaner way,
removing irq specific callbacks in the irq handler, so it should make
migrating easier, if anything.
