This is precisely the point that you and Rob seem to have missed in the
last three or four back-and-forths about this.
Probably I have not explained well enough why legacy will not work.
We have three different interrupt controllers (although only one is
currently in-tree). hwirq to irq mapping for them is more or less as
follows:
irq hwirqCIU hwirqCIU2 hwirqCIU3
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OCTEON_IRQ_USB0 56 81 934562
OCTEON_IRQ_TWSI 45 224 100543
OCTEON_IRQ_UART0 34 228 4572
.
.
.
Now what we notice here is that there is no possible 1:1 linearly
increasing mapping possible for the irq and *all* three hwirq sets. We
want a single binary that contains support for all three interrupt
controllers, so the OCTEON_IRQ_* values have to be the same for all
three interrupt controllers. Because of this, legacy mapping is
*impossible*.
Since the possible ranges of the hwirq values is very large and quite
sparse, probably the radix mapping will be required.
Also to support non-OF drivers and architecture specific code for the
near future, I really think the existing IRQ values *must* be preserved.
Therefore, as I said above, we need a way for my SOC/board code to
specify the mapping.
Perhaps we need to add an optional function to struct irq_domain_ops
that would allow the default mapping to be overridden on a per
irq_domain basis.
Otherwise, I think I will have to keep poking into the internal
irq_domain data structures to get the mappings I want.
What do you think?
