you probably meant devname here instead of name and also percpu_dev_id 
instead of dev_id.

The patch doesnt support threaded percpu interrupts - please set the

Can we add irqflags argument. I think it will be useful to pass flags, 
at least the IRQF_TRIGGER_MASK since it ends up calling __setup_irq(). 
The chip could use a set_type callback for ppi's too.
