What is the list of interrupts related to, should there be an associated interrupts-names
For the CCI PMU, each interrupt signal corresponds to the overflow of a performance counter.
Here again, I was trying to be robust in the face of differing hardware configurations - specially the scenario where multiple interrupt lines from the CCI PMU are tied together to generate a single interrupt to the CPU.
Even in the case of multiple interrupt lines tied together, why wouldn't you still specify each interrupt specifier and they all just be the same and thus the interrupt appears to be shared ?
I am not quite sure what you are asking here. Are you suggesting that
even if the interrupts are muxed, they should be specified multiple times?
Below is an update I've added to the documentation to better describe
the interrupts. Does this help?
