Irq domain for legacy interrupts

[Bharat Kumar Gogada]

In arch/arm64/kernel/pci.c, pcibios_add_device(struct pci_dev *dev) does the irq mapping so, at this point of time the registered irq domain mapping will be invoked at this time ?

You need an irq domain if you want to refer to the interrupts from DT, otherwise you have no way to describe them.

no.

when the interrupt gets mapped ;-)

This should happen whenever the first PCIe device starts using non-MSI interrupts.
