OK, but the idea was not to tie up the crossbar<->interrupt numbers at the DTS level, but to assign it dynamically during runtime. This was one of the comments that came up with first crossbar support patches, which was assigning a interrupt line to crossbar number in the DTS and setting it up in crossbar probe. https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/18/416 Since this approach of assigning in DTS was opposed, we moved to IRQCHIP and that did not go as well. Finally was asked to handle this as a part of GIC driver with a separate domain. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg97085.html Regards, Sricharan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
