The current set of GIC compatible strings only contains specific implementations (e.g. arm,cortex-a9-gic) rather than revisions of the standard (e.g. arm,gic-v2), so each new implementation must either claim to be an extension of an existing implementation or have a new string added to the driver. This may be problematic when workarounds are required for bugs in particular implementations, as said workaround may end up targeting a wider set of implementations than intended. To prevent these issues, this patch adds compatible strings for the revisions of the GIC spec which all GIC implementations should be able to claim conformance to in addition to any particular implementation specific string, e.g. compatible = "$VENDOR,specific-gic-variant", "arm,gic-v2"; Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <Nikolay.Borisov@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: Mark Rutland <Mark.Rutland@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c index 57d165e..89e9b05 100644 --- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c +++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c @@ -1073,6 +1073,8 @@ gic_of_init(struct device_node *node, struct device_node *parent) } IRQCHIP_DECLARE(cortex_a15_gic, "arm,cortex-a15-gic", gic_of_init); IRQCHIP_DECLARE(cortex_a9_gic, "arm,cortex-a9-gic", gic_of_init); +IRQCHIP_DECLARE(gic_v1, "arm,gic-v1", gic_of_init); +IRQCHIP_DECLARE(gic_v2, "arm,gic-v2", gic_of_init); IRQCHIP_DECLARE(msm_8660_qgic, "qcom,msm-8660-qgic", gic_of_init); IRQCHIP_DECLARE(msm_qgic2, "qcom,msm-qgic2", gic_of_init); -- 1.8.1.5 -- 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
