Looking more closely at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/pmu.txt
I now see commit 71bbf038eaa44

- interrupt-affinity : Valid only when using SPIs, specifies a list of phandles
                       to CPU nodes corresponding directly to the affinity of
		       the SPIs listed in the interrupts property.

		       This property should be present when there is more than
		       a single SPI.

I currently have

	pmu {
		compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
		interrupts =
			<GIC_SPI 12 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
			<GIC_SPI 13 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
	};

<confused> I wrote the above node by sampling other platforms,
and they don't define any interrupt-affinity property, e.g.

exynos4415.dtsi:

		pmu {
			compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
			interrupts = <0 18 0>, <0 19 0>, <0 20 0>, <0 21 0>;
		};

exynos5440.dtsi:

	arm-pmu {
		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-pmu", "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
		interrupts = <0 52 4>,
			     <0 53 4>,
			     <0 54 4>,
			     <0 55 4>;
	};

highbank.dts:

		pmu {
			compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
			interrupts = <0 76 4  0 75 4  0 74 4  0 73 4>;
		};

omap4460.dtsi:

	pmu {
		compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
		interrupts = <GIC_SPI 54 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
			     <GIC_SPI 55 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
		ti,hwmods = "debugss";
	};


I also looked more closely at of_pmu_irq_cfg()

platform_get_irq(pdev, 0); returns -6
pdev->num_resources is 0 therefore...

	if (i == pdev->num_resources) {
		pmu->irq_affinity = irqs;
	} else {
		kfree(irqs);
		cpumask_setall(&pmu->supported_cpus);
	}

pmu->irq_affinity gets set to an invalid pointer (0x00000010)
and cpumask_setall() is not called.

Something is not working as expected, right?

Regards.
