The GPIO irqchip would be in hierarchy with the wakeup-parent irqchip and no device specific functions would be called directly. We could achieve this with compatible strings to the irqchip. >Alternatively, if the PDC/MPM code knows what interrupt controller it >is associated with, then it could setup that relationship and the >interrupt controller code could retrieve that.

It is powered by an always-on rail and therefore can detect some interrupts that are routed to it even when the GIC is powered off. Though Tegra's implementation of the irqchip is a bit different from QCOM, the idea is generally the same. It would be helpful, if we could make this a generic enough binding. -- Lina
