Re: [PATCH v5] arm pl011 serial: support multi-irq request

hello,

Thanks very much for analysis. And i have get the cause of the problem.

I will add pl011_allocate_multi_irqs/pl011_release_multi_irqs functions for amba drivers,

and call them in pl011_startup/pl011_shutdown respectively.


Reserved pl011_allocate_irq/pl011_release_irq functions for platform drivers.

Please help to confirm, is this ok?

binds as a platform driver, *not* an amba driver.

Thanks for pointing out, Robin. I just yet to see an ARM server booting from DT
those days.

Unlikely in production datacentre/cloud environments, indeed, although some of the mid-range kit like LX2160 does start to blur the line of what might be considered "server", and that's one example which *does* have full-featured DT support (even if it also aspires to ACPI...)

What I thought was worth clarifying for the general audience is that the relevant aspects of "server" here should in fact still be possible to reproduce on something like a Raspberry Pi or a tiny QEMU VM, if one can figure out the ACPI runes :)

Thanks,
Robin.
