Describe the hardware, not what the driver will do.
Though adding a new interrupt will break the ABI, it is required to
accurately describe the hardware.
That's poor reason. Hardware was described and missing optional piece
(because according to your description above everything was working
fine) is not needed to break ABI.
Hardware was described but not completely. 'global' IRQ let's the controller driver to handle PCIe link specific events like Link up, Link down etc... They improve user experience like the driver can use those interrupts to start bus enumeration on its own. So breaking the ABI for good in this case.
Sorry, if your driver changes the ABI for this poor reason.
Is the above reasoning sufficient?
I tried to look for corresponding driver change, but could not, so maybe
there is no ABI break in the first place.
Here it is:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4581403f67929d02c197cb187c4e1e811c9e762a
Above explanation is good, but
still feels like improvement and device could work without global clock.
So there is no ABI break in the first place... Commit is misleading.
OK, will remove the description about ABI break in commit message. But may
Describe real effects. You got comments about ABI impact before, right?
So if you remove this, how previous feedback is addressed?
Global interrupt is parsed as optional in driver, so there is
no ABI break, will write this in commit message.
Thanks

I know in which case ABI will be broken by adding an interrupt in bingdings
and what ABI will be broken?
Users of ABI stop working.
Best regards,
