this module does not use the irqdomain directly so it gets the numbers from
the platform data, which I thought did not persist past the probe() function.
Is the platform data permanently available? - if that is the case, I can of course
re-get the values on demand from the platform data - please confirm or suggest
an alternative method of extracting the irq number.

the error print was used here because there is no other way to report an error.
On the get function a negative number can be returned, so therefore there is
no need to report it via the error log. I can put more diagnostics back in, but
is it really necessary to duplicate the error indication in some cases?

yes I will add such comments

why is it logical for one state to be preferred over the other?

the meaning of the bits other than the INP/OUT bits are not independent,
but depend on the direction. Thus each nibble contains 3 dependent bits.

Yes the core is using irqdomain.

You are confusing input and output operations, the meanings
of each nibble's other 3 bits is depends on the direction. That
is why the INP and OUT configuration needs to be saved in a
control structure.

The hardware definition is in terms of bit patterns in each nibble,
so introducing a dual name for 3 of the 4 bits means double the
number of points an error can be made.

I think that in this particular case it will be more confusing trying to name the bits
due to the fact that 3 out of 4 bit in each nibble depend on the 4th bit.

Hi Linus,

I failed previously to imagine any naming scheme that would make the meaning
of the magic bits in each nibble clearer. The best I could come up with was the
comment you referred to.
