Re: [PATCH v4 2/3] dma: arm-dma350: support combined IRQ mode with runtime IRQ topology detection

DMA-350 can be integrated with either per-channel IRQ lines or a single
combined IRQ line. Add support for both layouts in a unified way.

Detect IRQ topology at probe time via platform_irq_count(), then:
- request one global IRQ and enable DMANSECCTRL.INTREN_ANYCHINTR for
combined mode, or
- request per-channel IRQs for channel mode.

Refactor IRQ completion/error handling into a shared channel handler
used by both global and per-channel IRQ paths, and guard against IRQs
arriving without an active descriptor.

Why is this here in the middle of register definitions? But frankly why is it being added at all?

Please follow the existing code rather than making a confusing ugly mess. DMANSECCTRL is a register frame at offset 0x0200; it contains (among others) a register named NSEC_CTRL at offset 0x0c.

Thsi is a change in behaviour, since we wouldm't currently consider it an error if the last 1 or more channels don't have an interrupt, but aren't accessible anyway - if a system *always* reserved the last couple of channels for the Secure world, arguably there would be no real requiremnt to describe them in the Non-Secure DT at all.

But here's the thing - even if we *were* to do something special in the DT binding, why not simply have:

if (combined_irq)
dch->irq = combined_irq_num;
else
dch->irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, i);

at this point, and then let everything else keep working the way it already does?
