In order to make pl011 work better, multiple interrupts are
required, such as TXIM, RXIM, RTIM, error interrupt(FE/PE/BE/OE);
at the same time, pl011 to GIC does not merge the interrupt
lines(each serial-interrupt corresponding to different GIC hardware
interrupt), so need to enable and request multiple gic interrupt
numbers in the driver.

This function looks identical to pl011_allocate_irq(), so what is the
difference here? Why is this still needed at all? What does it do that
is different from pl011_allocate_irq()?

The v6-patch is based on master of
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git, not tty-next.

Always submit patches based on tty-next if you want them accepted into
that tree.

As below, the pl011_allocate_irq function supports single irq request only,
which different from pl011_allocate_multi_irqs.

static int pl011_allocate_irq(struct uart_amba_port *uap)
{
    pl011_write(uap->im, uap, REG_IMSC);

    return request_irq(uap->port.irq, pl011_int, IRQF_SHARED, "uart-pl011",
uap);
}

Ok, but that does not reflect what is in my tree to be merged for
5.15-rc1. What is wrong with the code in there that is incorrect and
needs to be changed?

As reported by Qian Cai, it blows up on ACPI-based systems by assuming
port.dev is an amba_device when in fact in that situation it's a
platform_device. If you're able to drop the current patch from your tree
that would probably be the best thing to do for the moment.

I have not seen any such bug report.

It's the thread on the v5 patch that you've just replied to ;)

If something needs to be reverted in linux-next, (i.e. in my tty-next
branch), please let me know. Ideally by sending a pathc to do so...

Since I'm only really involved here off the back of a drive-by review comment, I'll leave that up to Qian.

Cheers,
Robin.
