Hi Daniel,

What is the SoC used in the Nspire? Is it something custom for the
calculator, or does it use an existing SoC? I'm just surprised that this
device needs a new interrupt controller driver rather than one of the
drivers that is already in the tree.

If it is a new device, then that is fine, but you should follow the
discussion that Thomas pointed you at below.
