Thanks, that's really helpful. You should consider adding this to the
driver code, as part of the documentation.

My first suggestion would be to go back to whoever put this HW block
together and make sure they never write a line of RTL ever again.
Programming using copy/paste is bad enough, but doing the same thing
with HW is just terrible.

Ideally, you would model the whole thing as 8 distinct MSI
controllers, as that is effectively what they are. Evidently, this
would cause all kind of issues when associating PCI devices with their
MSI domain, so let's not do that.

So what we want is to have a single MSI domain (with 256 entries,
hence covering all sets), and compute the hwirq from the level below,
depending on the interrupt PCIe interrupt, and the index of the MSI in
the status register for this PCIe interrupt. I think you have most of
the information already, you just need to simplify the way you keep
track of it, and maybe come up with better names for the various
blocks.

I expect you would need something like this:

struct mtk_msi_set {
	void __iomem		*base;
	phys_addr_t		msg_addr;
};

struct mtk_pcie_port {
[...]
	int 			base_irq;
	struct mtk_msi_set	msi_sets[8];
[...]
};

The assumption is that you can build the bottom MSI domain hwirq as:

    hwirq = set_idx * 32 + set_status_bit;

>From that, you can directly go back from a hwirq to a set, and index
the msi_sets[] array to find the relevant information.

Another assumption is that all 8 cascade interrupts are contiguous
(which is pretty easy to guarantee), meaning that you can directly use
the PCIe interrupt to compute the set number.

With all that, you can directly keep a pointer from the bottom MSI
domain irq_data structures to the mtk_pcie_port structure, providing
you with all the information you need.

Once you will have moved the various bits at the right place, and used
the established MSI abstractions, things should just work.

Is it an ack or an eoi? These are two different things, and really
depends on your HW. Please find out which one it is, and we will work
out a way to handle it.

Thanks,
