The PRUSS INTC has a fixed number of output interrupt lines that are
connected to a number of processors or other PRUSS instances or other
devices (like DMA) on the SoC. The output interrupt lines 2 through 9
are usually connected to the main Arm host processor and are referred
to as host interrupts 0 through 7 from ARM/MPU perspective.

All of these 8 host interrupts are not always exclusively connected
to the Arm interrupt controller. Some SoCs have some interrupt lines
not connected to the Arm interrupt controller at all, while a few others
have the interrupt lines connected to multiple processors in which they
need to be partitioned as per SoC integration needs. For example, AM437x
and 66AK2G SoCs have 2 PRUSS instances each and have the host interrupt 5
connected to the other PRUSS, while AM335x has host interrupt 0 shared
between MPU and TSC_ADC and host interrupts 6 & 7 shared between MPU and
a DMA controller.

Add support to the PRUSS INTC driver to allow both these shared and
invalid interrupts by not returning a failure if any of these interrupts
are skipped from the corresponding INTC DT node.

That's not exactly "adding support", is it? It really is "ignore these
interrupts because they are useless from the main CPU's perspective",
right?

Correct. We can rephrase this to something like
"Add logic to the PRUSS INTC driver to ignore.."

ok. We have atmost 8 interrupts coming in, but agree on the change
since we are using the BIT() macro below.

You probably want to move this in a separate function, since you populate a

I don't really understand why you are treating these "shared" interrupts
differently from the invalid ones. In all cases, they shouldn't be used.

The behavior is the same in how we handle it, but the difference is
that an "invalid" one is never even connected to the ARM interrupt
controller, while the "shared" one is a choice. So, unless this
interrupt is being used/handled by a different processor/entity, you
would not see this skipped from the dts node.

And I'm saying that all that matters is that you are discarding these
interrupts. Whether they are flagged invalid or shared, they are not
available to Linux. So the difference in handling is pointless and
only makes it harder to understand what you are doing.

The primary reason for using two properties and this logic was to accurately describe the h/w and usage of these in the DT bindings to distinguish the "never connected" vs the "optionally can be skipped" interrupts rather than go by how these are handled in the driver. I feel we will loose this description and make it confusing for SoC product integration developers.

Greg is planning to consolidate these for the next version. It would have been nice if we could have retained them.
