I've now merged the driver into my tree and tested it.
The good news is that using only one device node is absolutely no
problem. It works without error or complaint and sysfs looks sane.
The bad news is that I discovered a race condition on initialization.
The problem is that IRQs are enabled before the SIEs are configured.
The interrupt handler is firing immediately and tries to get the
status of each SIE. Since the SIE probe has not yet occured, sie->dev
is NULL and we get a kernel oops when c67x00_ll_get_siemsg() tries to
dereference it.
However, register_irq() cannot be easily moved to after the SIE probe
because the current probe code depends on interrupts being enabled.
Below is an ugly workaround that solves the problem to me, but there
is probably a better solution.
Cheers,
