Question about IRQs on MPC8540

I sent this to Kumar, should have sent directly to the list...


I'm porting our kernel base from 2.4->2.6 for our boards and an ODM board.
The ODM board is board that is based off of the 8540 ADS.

I'm having a bit of a problem understanding what went on btw 2.6.12 and 
2.6.16.16 wrt
the 85xx interrupts.

For example, in 2.6.12 I had external interrupts as follows:
       {0, MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT2, MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT3, 0},    /* The bridge */
       {MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT2, MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT3, 0, 0},        /* Cardbus */
       {MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT6, 0, 0, 0},                    /* IDSEL 18 -- QE */
       {MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT5, 0, 0, 0},                    /* neo2 FE */
       {MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT9, 0, 0, 0},                    /* neo3 FE egress */
       {MPC85xx_IRQ_EXT10, 0, 0, 0},                    /* neo3 FE 
ingress IDSEL 21 */
Where ext2 was 98, ext3 was 99, etc.

With the newer 2.6.16.16 kernel, I see
ext2 is 50, ext3 51, etc.

mpc85xx_map_irq: res: 0 for idsel 16 pin 1 0:16.0
mpc85xx_map_irq: res: 0 for idsel 16 pin 1 0:16.1
mpc85xx_map_irq: res: 54 for idsel 18 pin 1 0:18.0
mpc85xx_map_irq: res: 53 for idsel 19 pin 1 0:19.0
mpc85xx_map_irq: res: 50 for idsel 16 pin 2 1:1.0
mpc85xx_map_irq: res: 51 for idsel 16 pin 3 1:1.1

The problem is that when the PCI device drivers request the irq, it fails.
Sandburst Thin Driver 1.1.0 May 24 2006 loaded
 Support available from http://www.sandburst.com
sbthin: sb/ife0 (241/0) at 0xea3e0000, device 19
sbthin_init_one:sb/ife0 request irq failed with -38

and

Yenta: Using CSCINT to route CSC interrupts to PCI
Yenta: Routing CardBus interrupts to PCI
Yenta TI: socket 0000:01:01.0, mfunc 0x00001000, devctl 0x66
Yenta: request_irq() in yenta_probe_cb_irq() failed!
Yenta TI: socket 0000:01:01.0 no PCI interrupts. Fish. Please report.
Yenta: no PCI IRQ, CardBus support disabled for this socket.


Can you give me some pointers where to look?  I've been scouring the 
changes and can't
really put my finger on it.

thanx in advance,

travis
