I know you said the same thing at v5, and it might seem like they are ignored. However, I asked a couple of followup questions (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0bb4533d-c749-d8ff-e1f2-4b08eb724713@xxxxxxxxx/). I'd really appreciate it if you could (a) point to some documentation on how to write that interrupt-map and (b) explain how this is different from the Qualcomm PDC case I tried to copy and which had your Reviewed-By. >> + >> +Optional properties: >> +- fsl,bit-reverse: This boolean property should be set on the LS1021A >> + if the SCFGREVCR register has been set to all-ones (which is usually >> + the case), meaning that all reads and writes of SCFG registers are >> + implicitly bit-reversed.

In theory, yes, but as far as I understand (and as I wrote) it's specific to the ls1021a. Of course one can decide whether it's necessary/possible to read it based on the compatible string, but one would also need an extra reg property to have its address - but that register is not really part of the extirq "device" we're trying to describe. So would it need to be represented as its own subnode of scfg? If it is set at all, it's done within the first few instructions after reset (before control is even handed to the bootloader), so I see it as a kind of quirk of the hardware. The data sheet says "SCFG bit reverse (SCFG_SCFGREVCR) must be written 0xFFFF_FFFF as a part of initialization sequence before writing to any other SCFG register." which, taken literally, means we don't need the property at all and can just assume it for the ls1021a (i.e., do it based on compatible string alone) - but I think it should be read as "if you're going to write this register, it must be done first thing". > Does this apply to only the extirq register or all of scfg? All of scfg. It really seems like some accident/bad joke coming out of a discussion between a hardware and software engineer on the enumeration of bits, with the hardware guy ending up saying "alright, have it whichever way you want it", causing even more pain :( >> + >> +Example: >> + scfg: scfg@1570000 { >> + compatible = "fsl,ls1021a-scfg", "syscon"; >> + #address-cells = <1>; >> + #size-cells = <0>; > > As the child node(s) are memory mapped, this should not be 0.
