Subject: [PATCH v3 02/11] of/irq: Set FWNODE_FLAG_BEST_EFFORT for the interrupt controller DT nodes

The RISC-V APLIC interrupt controller driver is a regular platform
driver so we need to ensure that it is probed as soon as possible.
To achieve this, we mark the interrupt controller device nodes with
FWNODE_FLAG_BEST_EFFORT (just like console DT node).

Fixes: 8f486cab263c ("driver core: fw_devlink: Allow firmware to mark devices as best effort")

It is good practice to Cc the commit author of what you are fixing.

If it's platform drivers/devices you care about, then perhaps this
should be done when platform devices are created.

This function only operates on nodes matching 'matches', but this
operates on everything.

It does make sense that if we init an interrupt controller here, then we
will surely want to probe its driver later on. So maybe just move
setting FWNODE_FLAG_BEST_EFFORT within
for_each_matching_node_and_match() below.

Definite Nack. You are pretty much disabling fw_devlink for all
interrupt controllers. There are plenty of examples of the IRQ drivers
being needed very early on and still probing properly without the need
for this flag. Please fix your driver/DT.

Okay, I will try to set FWNODE_FLAG_BEST_EFFORT only for
APLIC device_node via IRQCHIP_DECLARE().

No, my point is that you very likely don't need to use that flag.

What exactly is the problem you are facing? Point to an example RISC-V
dts (not dtsi) in upstream and give specifics please.

The APLIC irqchip driver added by this series is a platform driver. It
used to work fine without setting FWNODE_FLAG_BEST_EFFORT
flag in fwnode but after commit 8f486cab263c the APLIC irqchip
driver did not probe hence this fix.
