Subject: How to get the irq flags from the dts file

Hi, all
I'm working on tegra wlan upstream issue.
The tegra board use the Broadcom 4329 as wlan device, and the driver is
the brcmfmac.

This wlan driver support out-band-interrupt (OOB), I want to add DT
support to use this OOB.
I can add following lines in the dts file to create platform device and
pass the interrupt resource to the driver.

wlan {
compatible = "broadcome, brcmf_sdio_pd";
interrupt-parten = <&gpio>;
interrupts = <144, 0x04>; /* IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH */
};

In the wlan driver, it will use platform_get_resource() to get the
res->irq, res->flags, the irq number is right, but the flags will be
IORESOURCE_IRQ, not the 0x04 (IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH).
The wlan driver wish this flags include the IRQF_TRGGER_* information,
and it will use this flags to configure other hw settings. If it is
wrong, the wlan can't work.

I checked drivers/of/irq.c, in function of_irq_to_resource(), it will
set r->flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ directly, not read the flags from the dtb
file. And I didn't find any of_xx api to get this flags.

How can I get this flags, does anyone has suggestion?

Thanks.
Wei.

The driver should not need to know about thie flag. It gets read
by irq_create_of_mapping when calling teh xlate function and
gets set using irq_set_irq_type from there too.

You can read the configuration with irqd_get_trigger_type() - see the OF
code in sound/soc/codecs/wm8903.c for an example.

That only helps the interrupt controller, it doesn't help the interrupt
source. A good proportion of embedded devices have a great deal of
flexibility in how they signal interrupts so they need to know what mode
to pick.

I don't know the DT syntax, but I assume broadcome should be broadcom,
right? ;-)

I did a quick search in the kernel and there are a number of platform
drivers that seem to expect the IRQF_TRIGGER_* info by using (res->flags
& IRQF_TRIGGER_MASK) and to determine IRQF_SHARED as well.

I tried it, it worked fine. thanks for your help.

Sorry, it's my typo, it should be broadcom.
