I think of_phandle_args is the only thing we can use, whether this is DT or this other non-DT thing. This is how we represent a GIC HW interrupt outside of the GIC itself. Of course, this creates a dependency between the different domains (a child domain *must* know how the parent domain represents its interrupt). Things like the v2m widget are completely fused with the GIC anyway, so it makes sense. Things like generic secondary irqchips don't fit that model, but they can continue to use the existing framework. Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead.
