I am trying to pull hierarchical IRQ into the gpiolib core by refactoring
based on these and some other patches (like the IXP4xx GPIO driver).

I am working under the assumptions of what compatible strings
indicating the hierarchy topology and hard coded ranges of
offsets from parent to child in the driver only associated with
the compatible string, so no IRQ range mapping in the device
tree.

AFAICT that is how hierarchical irqdomain is engineered as of
today.

The issue I've had in the past about the use of 'proper' interrupt
specifiers in DT for stuff that is represented as a hierarchy comes
mainly from the way Linux deals with those (unsurprisingly).

The DT parsing code will create a Linux interrupt each time it probes
an device that has these descriptors. That's all fine, except that for
a hierarchy, these output lines are not independent IRQs. We end-up
with double the interrupt descriptors at each level of the hierarchy,
which is both a waste of

The main concern I have is that we're changing the binding to avoid a
larger discussion we could have about whether or not the binding is
wrong to list out the hierarchical irqs as part of an 'interrupts'
property. We have one case where hardware irq numbers are remapped to
other hardware irq number spaces and it seems perfectly valid to use the
'interrupts' property to indicate this, i.e. chained interrupt
controllers.

Those controllers typically have a single 'interrupts' specifier for the
chained irq of the parent interrupt controller, but when it comes to
hierarchical interrupts we seem to have various different ways of
expressing the mapping from one number space to another. I've seen
approaches varying between hardcoding everything in the kernel to
hardcoding everything in DT.

I'm mostly wondering if having an interrupts property listing all the
parent interrupts in corresponding specifier slots for the interrupt
controller's hardware irq space is wrong. It seems to describe the
mapping between the two number spaces already, so maybe it would make
sense to use the realloc argument and keep listing them as interrupts in
DT. Obviously things are already moving forward with the new DT binding,
so maybe I just need to be told that having an interrupts property there
is wrong. If it is wrong, then nothing needs to be kept around and the
binding can easily be changed.

I haven't tried the realloc path yet. Let's back up further so that we
are both starting with the same assumptions. Do you want to keep either
your proposed change (realloc argument) or the existing
irq_domain_disassociate change in mainline past the end of this patch
series? If it is going to continue to be a temporary shim that will be
reverted at the end of the patch series (like I did here), then I don't
see the point in this extra work since this patch is only here to keep

Ok. The other side of the argument is that this is the only user of
irq_domain_disassociate(), which may also be some sort of legacy
interface that isn't supposed to be used. Looking at the commit that
exposed it, it seems to be that it's there for legacy reasons.

genirq: Export irq_domain_disassociate() to architecture interrupt drivers

Export irq_domain_disassociate() to architecture interrupt drivers,
so it could be used to handle legacy IRQ descriptors on x86.

So maybe we should just use the realloc argument and bury the
disassociate API in irqdomain.c because it's not supposed to be used?
Or does the realloc path not work for some reason?

The kernel doc for __irq_domain_alloc_irqs() says that the realloc
parameter is mainly to support legacy IRQs. I don't think its a good
idea to add new code that'll stay past the end of this patch series
on top of that legacy interface.

Is it possible to pass 'true' for the 'realloc' argument to
__irq_domain_alloc_irqs() and then this disassociate change isn't
