Hi Rafael,
I found that _DEP is better than fw_devlink for ACPI since it works
during scan itself. For ex: the way PCI host bridges are scanned in
ACPI, PNP device handling. While some hacky solution could be done like
I did in v3 (pnp_irq() changes), _DEP way seems much better.
So, we decided to go with your suggested approach and defined namespace
devices for PLIC and APLIC required to create dependency mechanism.
However, there are concerns that every device will have to add _DEP now
and whether it is intended for this use case. Also, actually the
dependency is already available in the form of GSI number mapping.
Hence, instead of explicit dependency, we would like to create implicit
dependency. So, I will send RFC v4 series with those changes. Please
help us with feedback. If you could provide quick high level go/no-go,
that will help us a lot since we need to finalize the spec whether to
mandate _DEP or not.
I request you to provide some high level feedback in the RFC v4 I am
going to send.
1) Creation of implicit dependency.
2) Handling PNP devices as part of clearing dependency
3) IRQCHIP probing reordering when there are multiple irqchips.
Thanks,
Sunil
