can you explain why do you need to call of_irq_count

Hi Jean-Christophe,

I need to count number of irq written in the DTS node.
It is not fixed size that's why I need to proper way how to
find it out.

I am using this loop.
count = of_irq_count(pdev->dev.of_node);
/* Alloc IRQ based on DTS to be sure that no other driver will use it */
while (count--) {
tmp->irq = irq_of_parse_and_map(pdev->dev.of_node, count);
dev_info(&pdev->dev, "%d: Alloc irq: %d\n", count, tmp->irq);
ret = request_irq(tmp->irq, zynq_remoteproc_interrupt, 0,
dev_name(&pdev->dev), &pdev->dev);
if (ret) {
...
}
}

But of course if you think that this is incorrect to export it
I can use what it is in of_irq_count body
368 int of_irq_count(struct device_node *dev)
369 {
370 int nr = 0;
371
372 while (of_irq_to_resource(dev, nr, NULL))
373 nr++;
374
375 return nr;
376 }

Because of_irq_to_resource is exported for modules.
Or is there any better way how to loop over all interrupts in DT node?

Thanks,
Michal

It is quite a long time I have written this driver on v3.1 or 3.3.
But is this better?

struct resource *res;
int i = 0;
do {
res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, i++);
if (res)
do something
} while(res);

Also what about of_irq_to_resource()? Is it deprecated and all drivers
shouldn't use it?

I have no problem to rewrite the driver to use platform_get_resource.

Thanks,
Michal

can just explain me why you need to call irq_of_parse_and_map in your driver?

as the irq will be provided in the resources normally

yeah it's better but be aware there is a but in DT that I'm working on to fix
if you use irq that are registered by a pdev this will not work

I hope to fix it for 3.11
and already send an RFC that fix it

ok. good to know. Btw: Let's return to my origin point why not to
export of_irq_count for modules?
Or opposite question if platform_get_resource is correct way
why to export of_irq_to_resource for modules?

for old ppc drivers that are not converted yet to pdev

if you can do so just use pdev resource I should have fix the pb or irq_domain
hopefully for 3.11

ok. It means it is currently deprecated.
I just wanted to be sure that I understand it correctly.

I have changed my drivers not to use this function and using resources as
we discussed.

btw: I have sent one email to device-tree ML about describing missing
connection between cpu and the first interrupt controller.
Can you please look at it and comment it?

It's deprecated for platform_devices, but should still be used for
other bus types that don't provide the device driver with a list of
irqs. For platform devices it is best to use the platform_bus irq
table since that is portable regardless of how the device is
instantiated.

As for not exporting of_irq_count(), I don't have a problem with it,
but only if there is a user. It sounds like with the rework you
discussed with Jean-Christophe that it is no longer the case.

We have talked about out of tree driver anyway
because it targets arm-arm remoteproc AMP which is not in mainline yet.
I have changed my drivers and using resource tables.
Interesting thing was that long interrupt list
is translated to resource table entry per cell and res->end is not
used to cover bigger ranges.

interrupts = < 0 29 0 0 30 0 0 31 0 0 32 0 0 33 0 0 34 0 0 35 0 0 36 0 0 52 0 0 53 0 0 54 0 0 55 0 0 56 0 0 57 0 0 58 0 0 59 0 0 37 0 0 38 0 0 39 0>;


BTW: can you please look at my microblaze email around interrupt
handlers?

Thanks,
Michal

for the record as discussed with Grant I'm preparing to add a new property
to handle interrupts so you will never have to use "interrupt-parent" any more
and just do this

interrupt-lines = <&aic 5 0 &pioA 4>

it will be more like gpio and will allow to have irq from different
interrupt-parent in the same node

but wait a few I'll be really back next week as I'm half off this week

Any update on this?
