[PATCH 00/16] irqchip: gic: killing gic_arch_extn, slowly

The gic_arch_extn hack that a number of platform use has been nagging
me for too long. It is only there for the benefit of a few platform,
and yet it impacts all GIC users. Moreover, it gives people the wrong
idea ("let's use it to put some new custom hack in there"...).
But now that stacked irq domains have landed in -next, the time has
come for gic_arch_extn to meet the Big Bit Bucket.
This patch series takes several steps towards the elimination of
gic_arch_extn:
- moves Tegra's legacy interrupt controller support to
drivers/irqchip, implementing a stacked domain on top of the
standard GIC.
- OMAP, imx6 and exynos are also converted to stacked domains, but
their implementation is left in place (the code is far too
intricately mixed with other details of the platform for me to even
try to move it).
- shmobile, ux500 and zynq are only slightly modified.
- The GIC itself is cleaned up, and some other bits and bobs are
adjusted for a good measure.
It is worth realizing that:
- I haven't been able to test this as much as I would have wanted to
(it's only been tested on tegra2 and omap5).
- I've created DT bindings when needed, updated existing ones, but I
haven't created a binding for platforms that already used an
undocumented one (imx6, I'm looking at you).
- I've relaxed quite a bit of the locking in the GIC code. I believe
this is safe, but someone else should give it a long hard look.
- This actively *breaks* existing setups. Once you boot a new kernel
with an old DT, suspend/resume *will* be broken. Old kernels on a
new DT won't even boot! You've been warned. This really outline the
necessity of actually describing the HW in device trees...
As for the patches, they are on top of 3.18-rc7 + tip/irq/irqdomain-arm.
I've pushed the code to:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git irq/die-gic-arch-extn-die-die-die
Comments welcome,
M.
