Matthias, can you be more specific as to what your concern is?
The fsl-mc bus needs to implement bus specific gic-v3 MSI support just
like the other
bus types. See:
drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3-its-pci-msi.c
drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3-its-platform-msi.c
You will see that the PCI and platform bus types also find the gic-v3 node by
compatible string.
The bus specific gic-v3 support for fsl-mc is implemented in a
completely standard way.
Thanks,
Stuart
