dsi and dss would be able to use standard request_irq() API.


We could disable dsi IRQs by masking all the possible interrupt
events in DSI_IRQSTATUS. The same goes for dispc. Is this what you
meant by masking/unmasking irqs?

yes it is. Then it makes sense to have an irq_chip for those two irqs, I
think.

/proc/interrupt will reflect how the hardware works (DSI and DISPC IRQs
being handled by DSS), both dsi and dispc can use normal request_irq()
without setting IRQF_SHARED, etc etc. All you need to do is:

static struct irq_chip dss_irq_chip = {
        .name                   = "DSS",
        .irq_bus_lock           = dss_bus_lock,
        .irq_bus_sync_unlock    = dss_bus_sync_unlock,
        .irq_mask               = dss_irq_mask,
        .irq_unmask             = dss_irq_unmask,
        .irq_ack                = dss_irq_ack,
};

then, somewhere during probe() you have to:

for (irq = irq_base; irq<  irq_end; irq++) {
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM
        set_irq_flags(irq, IRQF_VALID)
#else
        set_irq_noprobe(irq);
#endif

        set_irq_data(irq, dss_device_structure_pointer);
        set_irq_chip_and_handler(irq,&dss_irq_chip,
                handle_simple_irq);
}

and on exit() you just need to cleanup:

for (irq = irq_base; irq<  irq_end; irq++) {
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM
        set_irq_flags(irq, 0)
#endif

        set_irq_chip_and_handler(irq, NULL, NULL);
        set_irq_data(irq, NULL);
}


Thanks for the info, but this seems to be suitable for the case
when there are multiple irq events coming from the same interrupt line. On OMAP4 we have 4 different IRQ lines going to ARM, i.e 4 lines defined in irqs-44xx.h.

We are looking for a common irq handler located somewhere centrally, and each module can hook their irq line to this handler.

Does irq_chip do this? what does irq_base and irq_end signify?
