Hi everyone,
newbie's question: are sparse IRQs [going to be] supported on Kirkwood?
I thought irq domains were pretty much the same thing...
So if I understand correctly, without sparse IRQs I still have to
increase NR_IRQS within arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/include/mach/irqs.h in
order to support additional PICs.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
a few months later, my understanding has not changed much... could
anyone please shed some light?
Thanks!

I _think_ sparse_IRQ is a pre-requisite for multiarch kernel. So it is
something we definitely want to do. I've no idea what is actually
required, but i do have it somewhere near the top of my TODO list.

I believe all the Kirkwood boards that have been converted to the
Device Tree now use a driver in drivers/irqchip/ for IRQ handling, and
therefore use all the modern irqdomain stuff.
I do have a bunch of other patches to convert more Kirkwood boards to
DT (needs more work), and once that's done, we can throw away the
legacy IRQ handling for Kirkwood.
Best regards,
Thomas
