Hi Sudeep,

just a few general observation on Type 3/4 subspaces from the spec
Table 14.7:

- "If a slave-subspace is present in the PCCT, then the platform interrupt flag must be set to 1." table 14.7

  Maybe is worth to WARN on this if this assumption is violated by the
  ACPI table we found.

- "Note that if interrupts are edge triggered, then each subspace must have its own unique interrupt."

  Same here, maybe it's worth also to check this, so that after all the
  pchan->db_irq has been obtained no edge triggered irqs are duplicated
  before requesting them.

Thanks,
Cristian
