Affinity support is "easy"; expect one set of registers for each output irq specified, and if there is only one, then we don't support it / fill the affinity pointers. > Perhaps we could write a simple, SMP-capable driver for the > saner/newer SoCs, and use the flexible-but-non-SMP version for the > complicated ones. As far as I can see, we have three distinct layouts here: a) An arbitrary number of 32-bit Mask/Status-pairs (3384/6838). No per thread support (well, not sure about 60333). b) An arbitrary length (32 to 128 bit) Mask register, followed by a same length Status register (63xx except 63381, 6818, 6828); repeated for each thread. c) A single arbitrary length (currently only 128 bit) Status register, followed by per thread same length Mask registers (63381). On a first glance this could translate to three distinct drivers/compatible properties, where each expects different reg = <>; contents. For a), it should be enough to expand the current 7120-l2 driver to accept/use more than one 0x8 length register, which should simplify the register map setup. For b) we could add a a new compatible name (maybe bcm6358-l2, because that was AFAICT the first one with blocks) that will use the 8 to 32 byte length regs (one for each block). For now we could ignore the SMP capability of it and make it a variant of the 7120-l2 driver, and when we add SMP support, split it into a second different driver if we want to avoid having all the spinlock for register accesses even for a). We could then even easily document/add the extra block registers / interrrupts in documentation / the dtsi files before actually supporting them, because we only have a fixed amount of regs/irqs to expect in the !SMP case and can easily ignore the extra registers/interrupts. For c) we could add a a third compatible name (bcm63381-l2), also with its own setup routine. I would guess it doesn't matter if both thread's irqstatus register pointers point to the same region. >> and cause a lot of io(re)map calls > > Is the ioremap() call really that big of a deal? > > On MIPS it's basically computing CKSEG1ADDR(phys_addr).

For a single driver it probably doesn't hurt that much, but AFAIK these are also stored in a table, so if all drivers did this, the table easily becomes huge. This isn't a very strong argument, just more a smaller nitpick.
