I understand that there are 2 types of interrupt and the drivers.

One like pci-keystone-dw.c is:

- there are 4 interrupts for legacy,
- invoke handlers for each interrupt, and handle the interrupt,
- call irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() to make a chain of the interrupts
when initializing

The other like pci-dra7xx.c is:

- there is 1 IRQ for legacy as a parent,
- check an interrupt factor register, and handle the interrupt correspond
to the factor,
- call request_irq() for the parent IRQ and irq_domain_add_linear() for
the factor when initializing

The pcie-uniphier.c is the same type as the latter (like pci-dra7xx.c).

However, in pci-dra7xx.c, MSI and legacy IRQ share the same interrupt number,
so the same handler is called and the handler divides these IRQs.
(found in dra7xx_pcie_msi_irq_handler())

In pcie-uniphier.c, MSI and legacy IRQ are independent.
Therefore it's necessary to prepare the handler for the legacy IRQ.

I think that it's difficult to apply the way of pci-keystone-dw.c,
and uniphier_pcie_irq_handler() and calling devm_request_irq() are still necessary
to handle legacy IRQ.

Thank you,
