Absolutely.
The node is only one of the many possible ways to retrieve a
domain. In general, what you pass as the of_node/fwnode_handle can be
anything you want. It doesn't have to represent anything in the system
(we even create then ex-nihilo in some cases), and the match/select
callbacks are authoritative when they exist.
There is also the use of a default domain, which is used as a fallback
when no domain is found via the normal matching procedure.
PPC has established a way of dealing with domains long before ARM did,
closer to the board files of old than what we would do today (code
driven rather than data structure driven).
Strictly mapping domains onto HW blocks is a desirable property, but
that is all it is. That doesn't affect the very purpose of the IRQ
domains, which is to translate numbers from one context into another.
I'd be all for rationalising this, but it is pretty hard to introduce
semantic where there is none.
Thanks,
M.
