Different SoCs could have different number of interrupt lines and the events routing could also be different among SoCs. It is really hard to name the interrupt lines properly that works for all SoCs. That is probably why we chose to name key events instead of interrupt lines. The HW documentation is also not very clear on this part. But I will try to summarize the situation better in next version, for example: "aer": Used for interrupt line which reports AER events when non MSI/MSI-X/INTx mode is used "pme": Used for interrupt line which reports PME events when non MSI/MSI-X/INTx mode is used "intr": Used for SoC(like ls2080a, lx2160, ls2080, ls2088, ls1088) which has a single interrupt line for miscellaneous controller events(which could include AER and PME events). > > > If needed, we can keep the "intr" interrupt-name there just for backward > compatibility although it was never used in Linux. > > What about other OSs? > > Rob
