If we don't have an interrupt-map on a PCI controller, why don't we instead log a message regarding that being missing, and give up early? That sounds like a more generically useful error message; it's also possible that a DT author simply forgot to add the map, and the platform has suitable interrupts wired up. > This patch introduces a different message for this specific case, > and it also reduces the level of the message from error to warning. > Before this patch, when an adapter was plugged in a slot without Level > interrupts capabilities, we saw generic error messages like this: > > [54.239] pci 002d:70:00.0: of_irq_parse_pci() failed with rc=-22 > > Now, with this applied, we see the following specific message: > > [19.947] pci 0014:60:00.0: of_irq_parse_pci() gave up.
