Hi Jean-Christophe,

Thanks for looking at this.

Hmmm, this is an interesting idea. I had been thinking about taping into
the platform_get_irq() call to lookup irq numbers at probe time, but
that assumes that all platform drivers use that call (which they clearly
do not). This approach should work for all drivers as is.

However care needs to be taken to not waste too much time processing
irqs every time probe is called. Mapping irqs over and over will get
expensive, especially with the current code. It would be better to
rework the mapping function to iterate once over the interrupts property
and map all the IRQs at once instead of calling of_irq_to_resource()
over and over again. (I would however accept the argument that this is a
bug fix and the refactoring should be a separate patch)

This is a little fragile. Instead of statically calculating the offset,
scan the table and make *absolutely* sure that there is a free block of
irq resources.

Also, if the table has already been populated successfully, then that
should be checked for. That would prevent the same table from being
parsed over and over in the case of a device that keeps getting
deferred.

Finally, if it fails, make sure any entries that have been filled in get
cleared out again before exiting.

Cheers,
g.
