Hi Jean-Jacques,
Sorry for top posting.
As I know, there have been several attempts to solve the same problem already:)
[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/18/216
[2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/22/520
[3] https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/8/240
There are some questions related to your approach:
1) How to distinguish between cases "IRQ domain not ready" and "wrong IRQ data in DT" or other IRQ parsing errors?
Otherwise, Driver's probe will be deffered wrongly and forever,
Thierry Reding has tried to solve this in [1].
2) How will be handled driver reloading situation?
The worst case (sparse IRQ enabled):
- remove driver A
- remove driver B (irq-controller)
- load driver B <--- different set of Linux IRQ numbers can be assigned
- load driver A <--- oops. IRQ resources table contains invalid data
Best regards,
Grygorii Strashko
=============================================
The goal of this patch is to allow drivers to be probed even if at the time of
the DT parsing some of their ressources are not available yet.
In the current situation, the resource of a platform device are filled from the
DT at the time the device is created (of_device_alloc()). The drawbackof this
is that a device sitting close to the top of the DT (ahb for example) but
depending on ressources that are initialized later (IRQ domain dynamically
created for example) will fail to probe because the ressources don't exist
at this time.
This patch fills the resource structure only before the device is probed and
will defer the probe if the resource are not available yet.

Hi Grant,
I reworked the patch as you proposed. To keep the overhead minimum, nirq and
nreg are computed only the first time.
In this implementation, only the missing IRQ ressources are re-tried for. It could
easily be changed to re-parse all the IRQs though (replace if (!res->flags)
with if ((!res->flags) || (res->flags & IORESOURCE_IRQ)).
