The problem is that the goal of the patch set is to move
arch/arm/mach-at91/irq.c into drivers/irqchip/.
However, if you move that chunk of code to drivers/irqchip/irq-at91.c,
you are using at91_pmc_read() which is defined in
arch/arm/mach-at91/include/mach/at91_pmc.h. So,
drivers/irqchip/irq-at91.c would have to include such an header file,
which is something we want to avoid since drivers/ code should not
include something in <mach/...>, as it breaks multiplatform kernels.
So, I'm afraid, simply moving this chunk of code in at91_irq_suspend()
doesn't make the thing any better.
Best regards,
Thomas
