Yeah, that's the way to go in the long run. However, we currently do have
some dependencies to that data being there and bus specific code may
add legacy resources to it with platform_device_add_resources(). At least
omap_device_alloc() depends on that until v3.14 when mach-omap2 is booting
in DT only mode.

Yes devm_alloc() should work once the legacy dependencies are out of the
way. We would need to audit where pdev->num_resources or pdev->resource is
being relied on, and where platform_device_add_resources() is being called
before the device probe. So I doubt we can do that all as a fix for the
-rc cycle.

Below is what I think might be limited enough to fix the $Subject bug for
the -rc cycle. I took the of_platform_probe() from your patch 08/10 to
avoid the notifier. Also added Greg to Cc as it's now touching
drivers/base/platform.c too.

Seems to work for my test cases, does this work for you guys?

Tony

Subject: [PATCH] of/platform: Fix no irq domain found errors when populating interrupts

Currently we get the following kind of errors if we try to use interrupt
phandles to irqchips that have not yet initialized:

irq: no irq domain found for /ocp/pinmux at 48002030 !
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/of/platform.c:171 of_device_alloc+0x144/0x184()

(of_platform_bus_create+0x12c/0x170)
(of_platform_populate+0x60/0x98)

This is because we're wrongly trying to populate resources that are not yet
available. It's perfectly valid to create irqchips dynamically, so let's
fix up the issue by populating the interrupt resources at the driver probe
time instead.

Note that at least currently we cannot dynamically allocate the resources as bus
specific code may add legacy resources with platform_device_add_resources()
before the driver probe. At least omap_device_alloc() currently relies on
num_resources to determine if legacy resources should be added. This issue
will get fixed automatically when mach-omap2 boots with DT only, but there
are probably other places too where platform_device_add_resources() modifies
things before driver probe.

The addition of of_platform_probe() is based on patches posted earlier by
Thierry Reding <thierry.reding at gmail.com>.
