This is mentioned in my previous reply for V9

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/af9b6bb3-a98d-4fb6-b51e-b48bca61dada@amd.com/

As we discussed before, "interrupt-map" was intended to be used here.

And after thinking it more, it may not work for the cases where ppnode

is not dynamically generated and it does not have "interrupt-map".

For example the IBM ppc system, its device tree has nodes for pci bridge

and it does not have "interrupt-map".

Based on previous discussions, OF_DYNAMIC should not be used here.

So I think adding "dynamic" might be a way to identify the dynamically

added node. Or we can introduce a new flag e.g OF_IRQ_SWIZZLING.


Thanks,
