I get that bit. See below for the bit I don't get.

That's most bizarre. What causes the TLMM output line not to reflect
the fact that an input is asserted? I understand that it has been
turned off, but surely the PDC wakes it up at the same time as the
GIC, and it should realise that there is something pending...

So the TLMM has indeed noticed the interrupt and you can read the TLMM
status registers to find out what fired? The question remains: why
isn't it generating any output if it knows something as fired? The
output line is level, right? What you describe would make sense if it
was generating an edge, but that'd really be a terrible design...
As for tripping the summary interrupt, see check_irq_resend(). This
will only work if this summary interrupt is edge.
Thanks,
M.
