FWIW, there are some warnings when building the SH-7785LCR configuration:

A while ago, I had a look into fixing them, but it was non-trivial.
The issue is that the macros are sometimes used with NULL pointer arrays.
The __same_type() check in

    #define _INTC_ARRAY(a) a, __same_type(a, NULL) ? 0 : sizeof(a)/sizeof(*a)

is supposed to catch that, but modern compilers seem to evaluate the
non-taken branch, too, leading to the warning.

Anyone with a suggestion? (CCing the multi-compiler guru)
I think I looked at this (or maybe a related sh driver) in the past
and also gave up.

The best idea I have would be to manually expand the DECLARE_INTC_DESC()
macros. It would be possible to add further variations of them for each
combination of NULL/non-NULL arguments, but IMHO they don't actually
add any readability over the expanded version in the first place.

Another option would be to change the definition from array/size to
zero-terminated
arrays and get rid of the sizeof hack.
