Armadaxp GPIO interrupts

[raghu MG]

Hi Andrew,

My platform/board is ATCA carrier card which is getting interface to I/O card.
The I/O card is hot-pluggable  or Jack-in or Jack out.
Also I/O card consists of hot-plugable SFP interface.
These events are triggered using GPIO's

So the events the carrier card recieves are
1) If I/O card is either Jacked-in or Jacked-out ,respective GPIO
pin-x triggers an event
2) If SFP is pushed into I/O card the respective GPIO pin-y triggers an event.




Another observation about  "irq: Cannot allocate irq_descs @ IRQ47/79/111".
This is warning & irq_descs are already allocated , the overall
initialization/probe function doesn't get effected.
mvebu_gpio_irq_handler is only called if I register a another handler
at irq=82/83/84/85/87/88/89/90/92. I am registering this handler using
minimal kernel module.
My understanding of Linux IRQ/interrupt mechanism is limited to
request_irq, but registering domain & then IRQ is bit not clear.

Regards
Raghu
