I don't see this being used. > The free callback is used in patch 5/5 where free is overridden by rzg2l_gpio_irq_domain_free. I just gave an example there as an populate_parent_alloc_arg() In actual in the child_to_parent_hwirq callback I am using a bitmap [0] to get a free tint slot, this bitmap needs freeing up when the GPIO interrupt is released from the driver that as when overridden free callback frees the allocated tint slot so that its available for re-use. > There is also the question of why we need to have dynamic allocation > for the fwspec itself.
