Hmmm ... I was just double checking on this for the gic-v3 by wading
through the DTS files, and may be there is no issue here. However,
looking at the current code it is a bit inconsistent between firmware
types ...
static int gic_irq_domain_translate(struct irq_domain *d,
struct irq_fwspec *fwspec,
unsigned long *hwirq,
unsigned int *type)
{
if (is_of_node(fwspec->fwnode)) {
if (fwspec->param_count < 3)
return -EINVAL;
switch (fwspec->param[0]) {
case 0: /* SPI */
*hwirq = fwspec->param[1] + 32;
break;
case 1: /* PPI */
*hwirq = fwspec->param[1] + 16;
break;
case GIC_IRQ_TYPE_LPI: /* LPI */
*hwirq = fwspec->param[1];
break;
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
*type = fwspec->param[2] & IRQ_TYPE_SENSE_MASK;
return 0;
}
if (is_fwnode_irqchip(fwspec->fwnode)) {
if(fwspec->param_count != 2)
return -EINVAL;
*hwirq = fwspec->param[0];
*type = fwspec->param[1];
return 0;
}
return -EINVAL;

Yes, it doesn't but I think I will leave this alone for now, given that
I can't find a case where this would be a problem.
