Else, I can send a more formal patch to you. Either IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING or IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW will work with these chips (it isn't a question of polarity but whether it's edge- or level- triggered). There isn't a sensible default. Atmel prefer IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW, however I've seen some IRQ controllers will revert to a polled mode for IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW, which kills performance. So, the sensible course of action seems to be to remove the default IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING in the device tree parsing, and provide a device tree parameter for the flags. If you agree, I will sort this out at my end, you don't need to send a patch. I have to leave it in in the case where there is neither static platform data, or device tree node, because that is used for some systems, but that shouldn't affect either of you. BTW, I do have a set of patches ready to send, once this change is made. cheers Nick -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
