[PATCH 1/2] mfd: intel-lpss: fall back to polling when no usable IRQ

From: Samuel Tirwa

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 04:05:53 EST


On platforms such as the HONOR MagicBook Pro 14 (2025) (Intel Core Ultra 9 285H)
the firmware ACPI tables report the Intel LPSS I2C controllers' PCI INTx line as
not connected (Interrupt Line = 0xff, GSI 255) and do not grant MSI control
through _OSC. As a result acpi_pci_irq_enable() sets dev->irq to
IRQ_NOTCONNECTED and intel_lpss_probe() rejects it, so all three I2C
controllers (8086:7778/7779/777a) fail to probe with -ENOTCONN and the
touchpad/touchscreen are never exposed.

Treat IRQ_NOTCONNECTED as 'no interrupt available' and pass 0 as the IRQ base
to the child devices instead of failing. The DesignWare I2C driver already
supports a polling mode when no IRQ resource is present, which keeps the
controllers functional on these firmwares.
