What the heck is this? You have a static struct which you set in
irqdata.chip_data?

And then you do the dance of reading the pointer to that static struct
out of irq_data and dereferencing it?

What's the point of this?

You're really missing the point of irq_data.chip_data 

If you set proper irq chip data per bank then this whole stuff is
reduced to:

   struct mydata *md = irq_data_get_irq_chip_data(d);
   u32 mask = 1 << (d->irq - md->irq_base);

   writel_relaxed(mask, md->iobase + NVIC_ICER);

Can you spot the difference and what that means in terms of
instruction cycles?

static ?

Please make this

static void __init nvic_init_bases(struct device_node *node,
                                   void __iomem *dist_base)

That's way easier to parse. Applies to all other multiline stuff as
well.

Magic constants. Please use proper defines. 

Aside of that without a proper comment the logic looks ass backwards.

Without looking at the datasheet I assume that the chip tells you the
number of interrupt banks where a result of 0 means 1 bank and so
forth.

How should a reviewer understand why the number of banks is limited to
31 without a comment? Do you really expect that a reviewer who
stumbles over that goes to search for the datasheet and verify what
you hacked up?

  irq_alloc_desc_from(16, irqs - 16, ...)

Also why are you allocating irqs-16 instead of the full number of
irqs?

See Russells reply

What's the point of that warn? The call path is always the same. So
you are spamming dmesg with a pointless backtrace. And on top of that
you do:

> +		irq_base = 16;

So you cannot allocate irq_descs and then you set base to 16 and pray
that everything works?

See above. Also you are leaking irqdescs though it's questionable
whether the machine can continue at all. And of course the init call
itself will return sucess.

Above you do:
	irq_base = irq_alloc_descs(-1, 16, irqs - 16, numa_node_id());

So you allocate irqs-16 interrupt descriptors and then you initialize
16 more than you allocated.

Brilliant stuff that.

Sigh.

Though the real question is: can this actually happen?

Brilliant. You can't map stuff and then you continue just for fun or
what?

Great. You have failure pathes in nvic_init_bases() and then you
return unconditionally success:
