Hi Geert,

Thank you for the review.

That is because we set the handle_fasteoi_ack_irq() only in case of
RZ/Five and it is already checked in set_type() callback.

Right but we are using handle_fasteoi_irq() for level interrupt which
doesn't call mask_ack_irq(). And I have confirmed by adding a print in
ack callback and just enabling the serial (which has level
interrupts).

Indeed..

... yes it can be done.

Yes, I will update it.

I don't think so as the handle_fasteoi_ack_irq() is installed only in
case of RZ/Five, so irq_ack() will not be called for non-affected
PLIC's. Please correct me if I am wrong.

But we do call plic_irq_domain_translate() in the alloc callback and
don't have a node pointer in there to check the interrupt cell count.
Or maybe we can store the interrupt cell count in priv and use it
accordingly above?
