This patchset tries to add support for Loongson 7A1000 PCH's LPC
interrupt controller to MIPS-based Loongson systems.
LPC, from software's perspective of view, is just ISA, so the interrupts
should be handled as legacy ones occupying the lowest 0-15 IRQ numbers.
Despite the current PCH LPC driver for ACPI-based LoongArch Loongson
machines handled it, the setup is fragile and depends on its specific
setup sequence (allocating the LPC IRQs first, and then allocate the
parent IRQ at PCH PIC). The refactor of extracting parent IRQ allocation
breaks this fragile sequence, so the first two commits is created to
address this issue (by reserving ISA interrupts from the dynamic
allocation space).
Then the remaining commits are just adding OF(DT) based initialization
of PCH LPC interrupt controller, like what happened on PCH PIC.
Tested on a Haier Boyue G51 system with legacy i8042 keyboard/mouse as
integrated ones, with some additional patches adding the PCH LPC device
node to the ls7a-pch.dtsi file.
Changes in v4:
- Removed "IRQ" acronym from detailed commit messages (but still kept
in summary phrases for the length constraint).
- Re-format some patch to utilize 100 columns instead of 80.
- Temporarily removed the DT patches for fitting the whole patchset into
the irqchip tree.
Changes in v3:
- Override arch_dynirq_lower_bound() in MIPS Loongson64 / LoongArch
instead of modifying the global version of function.
- Added Rob's R-b to the binding patch.
Changes in v2:
- Rebased on top of `irq-drivers-2026-02-09` tag.
- Compatible changed to `loongson,ls7a-lpc` .
- Merged the patch for conditionally build of ACPI code to the patch
introducing OF code.
- Sorted function variable definitions.
- Reworded some commit messages as Thomas Glexiner suggests.
- Added __init to the LPC irqchip OF initialization code to prevent
section mismatch.
