Hello,

I tried compiling an ancient SDHCI driver on a v4.2 system. It crashes
all over init because several host->ops functions are required, but the
old driver does not define them:
.reset
.set_clock
.set_bus_width
.set_uhs_signaling

So I downgraded to an older v3.14 kernel, and that problem vanished.
But I am having a problem with the IRQ setup.

# cat /proc/interrupts 
            CPU0       CPU1       
 18:         93          0      irq0   1 Level     serial
 55:       2832          0      irq0  38 Level     26000.ethernet
 60:          0          0      irq0  43 Edge      mmc0
211:        319       2603       GIC  29 Edge      twd

Ethernet is using IRQ 38, as specified in the DT.
mmc0 is supposed to use IRQ 60.

I see that the mmc0 has the index 60, so I must have messed up between
the real irq (hwirq?) and the index Linux uses internally (virq?)

static struct resource sdhci_resources[] = {
	{
		.start	= TANGOX_SDIO0_BASE_ADDR,
		.end	= TANGOX_SDIO0_BASE_ADDR + 0x1ff,
		.flags	= IORESOURCE_MEM,
	},
	{
		.start	= 60,	/* SDHCI0 IRQ */
		.flags	= IORESOURCE_IRQ,
	},
};

Both ethernet and sdhci driver call platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
but the eth driver is DT, so calls of_irq_get() while sdhci is
legacy, so calls platform_get_resource() -- IIUC.

How do I specify a "hwirq" instead of a "Linux index"? and where?

Is this relevant?
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/IRQ-domain.txt

Should I use irq_linear_revmap() / irq_find_mapping() ?

Regards.
