(I'm sure there may be problems with the above series.

I think you've conflated INTx with WAKE# just a bit (and to be fair, that's exactly what the bad binding we're trying to replace did, accidentally). We're not trying to claim this WAKE# signal replaces the typical PCI interrupts, but it *is* an interrupt in some sense -- "depending on your definition of interrupt", per our IRC conversation ;) > So I'd argue that we should add an optional 'wake-gpio' DT property > instead to the generic PCI device binding, and leave the interrupt > binding and discovery alone. So I think Mark Rutland already shot that one down; it's conceptually an interrupt from the device's perspective. We just need to figure out a good way of representing it that doesn't stomp on the existing INTx definitions. Brian
