One question about commit 0fb22a8 ("ARM: OMAP: Work around hardcoded
interrupts"), there is a call to irq_create_of_mapping(), but no call to
irq_dispose_mapping(), is that intended?
In previous API iterations, we had request_irq() and free_irq()
$ git grep irq_dispose_mapping drivers/ | wc -l
105
$ git grep irq_dispose_mapping arch/arm/mach-omap2/ | wc -l
0
