Nobody seems to use a hardcoded trigger (well, there is one exception, but that's to paper over a firmware bug). > On the other hand, given that on GICv5 PPI handling mode is fixed, > do you think that in the ppi_irq_domain_ops.translate() callback, > I should check the type the firmware provided and fail the translation > if it does not match the HW hardcoded value ? Why? The fact that the firmware is wrong doesn't change the hardware integration. It just indicates that whoever wrote the firmware didn't read the documentation. Even more, I wonder what the benefit of having that information in the firmware tables if the only thing that matters in the immutable HW view. Yes, having it in the DT/ACPI simplifies the job of the kernel (only one format to parse). But it is overall useless information. > Obviously if firmware exposes the wrong type that's a firmware bug > but I was wondering whether it is better to fail the firmware-to-Linux > IRQ translation if the firmware provided type is wrong rather than carry > on pretending that the type is correct (I was abusing the irq_set_type() > callback to do just that - namely, check that the type provided by > firmware matches HW but I think that's the wrong place to put it). I don't think there is anything to do. Worse case, you spit a pr_warn_once() and carry on. Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
