Ok. That explains it. CP SEI has:

static int mvebu_sei_cp_set_type(struct irq_data *data, unsigned int type)
{
if ((type & IRQ_TYPE_SENSE_MASK) != IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING)
return -EINVAL;
return 0;
}

But the DT configuration requests:

> IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH

IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH = 0x00000004,

> genirq: Setting trigger mode 4 for irq 85 failed (irq_chip_set_type_parent+0x0/0x34)

which is not supported by CP SEI.

With your patch the type request is just stored in the data, but no
actual type setting happens. That's default behaviour for chips which do
not have a set_type() callback.

No. That's not related.

It's unclear to me how the 6.10 kernel survives that. Do you have a
different device tree for those kernels?

Thanks,
