It's a "summary" register that reflects the state of the 14 i2c controller interrupts. This approach does have the advantage of providing separate counters in /proc/interrupts which is rather nice, but it does have overhead. On those shittly little ARMv9 400Mhz cores it can be significant. I would personally have some kind of trick to register a single interrupt handler that calls directly the handlers of the respective i2c busses via a simple indirection for speed, maybe adding my custom sysfs or debugfs statistics. But that's just me trying to suck the last cycle out of the bloody thing ;-) Cheers, Ben. -- 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
