The pm_8xxx_irq_set_type doesn't seem to be failing as far as I can see..
Looking at the patch that seems to cause the trouble, I narrowed it
down to just the following chunk:
@@ -614,7 +615,11 @@ unsigned int irq_create_fwspec_mapping(struct
irq_fwspec *fwspec)
* it now and return the interrupt number.
*/
if (irq_get_trigger_type(virq) == IRQ_TYPE_NONE) {
- irq_set_irq_type(virq, type);
+ irq_data = irq_get_irq_data(virq);
+ if (!irq_data)
+ return 0;
+
+ irqd_set_trigger_type(irq_data, type);
return virq;
}
If I revert just that, it works again.
I was worried we were hitting an early failure from !irq_data, but it
seems there's some subtle difference between irqd_set_trigger_type and
irq_set_type that makes the former break for me.
Still digging though.
