Create two domains. One for the GPIO lines, and the other for on-chip
sources.

Hmmm...

+static int octeon_irq_gpio_xlat(struct irq_domain *d,
+ struct device_node *node,
+ const u32 *intspec,
+ unsigned int intsize,
+ unsigned long *out_hwirq,

+ *out_hwirq = gpiod->base_hwirq + pin;

...base_hwirq is only used here...

[...]
+ gpiod = kzalloc(sizeof (*gpiod), GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (gpiod) {
+ /* gpio domain host_data is the base hwirq number. */
+ gpiod->base_hwirq = 16;
+ irq_domain_add_linear(gpio_node, 16,&octeon_irq_domain_gpio_ops, gpiod);

... and it is unconditionally set to 16. It looks to me like
base_hwirq and the associated kzalloc() is unnecessary.


There is a little information asymmetry here. You don't know that I have a patch queued up to add another user of the GPIO irq_domain that has a different base_hwirq.

I could re-do this to hard code it, and then add it back. But it would really just be busy work.
