Add IRQF_SHARED flag when register IRQ such that multiple dsu
devices can share same IRQ.

I don't think that this makes sense; further I think that this
highlights that the current driver doesn't support such a configuration
for other reasons.

A DSU instance can only be accessed from a CPU associated with it, since
it's accessed via sysregs. The IRQ handler must run on one of those
CPUs.

To handle that, the DSU PMU driver will need to gain an understanding of
which CPUs are associated with the instance. As it stands the driver
seems to assume that there's a single DSU instance, and that all CPUs
are affine to that same instance.

So NAK to this patch, given the above.

Thanks,
Mark.

Sorry, I misread dsu_pmu_get_online_cpu_any_but(), multiple instances
are handled already.

Regardless, this NAK stands.

Thanks,

Oh, so either way it's effectively a rerun of the U8500 problem of 
having no guarantee that the interrupt will be taken on an appropriate 
CPU, and losing genuine events as apparently spurious if it isn't. Yeah, 
that's really really bad... :(

Agreed, pretending that this might work without significantly more 
invasive workarounds does more harm than good.

Robin.
