That's inside of the generic irq chip, so CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_CHIP is
always set when this is compiled.

             s/!// ?

I don't think the above will cover all combinations.

..._CHIP_BE     ...CHIP_LE
N               N                       ; Default behaviour: readl/writel
Y               N                       ; ioread/write32be
N               Y                       ; Default behaviour: readl/writel
Y               Y                       ; Runtime selected

So you trade a conditional for an indirect call. Not sure what's more
expensive. The indirect call is definitely a smaller text footprint,
so we should opt for this.
