Joshua, Cristian,

This adds support for the EVIC present on a PIC32MZDA.
The following features are supported:
- DT properties for EVIC and for devices that use interrupt lines
- persistent and non-persistent interrupt handling
- Priority, sub-priority and polariy settings for each interrupt line
- irqdomain support
I haven't reviewed the code yet, but the fact that you allow (and
actually request) the interrupt priorities to be encoded in the DT
raises some concerns:
- Aren't priorities entirely under software control (and hence don't
belong in DT)?
- More crucially, how do you deal with nested interrupts when you have
interrupts running at different priorities? Most parts of Linux
cannot cope with that without additional support.
Thanks,
M.
