No, it should not. Any situation where it does is a bug. > Now, here's the thing: I believe that IRQ domains - at least as far as > the hwirq stuff - should be available irrespective of whether we have > the rest of the IRQ domain support code in place, so that IRQ support > code doesn't have to keep playing games to decode from the global > space to the per-controller number space. Correct. That's the intent. My new series flushes out irq_domain quite a bit better and gets all architectures doing the same thing if they use irq_domains. I've done some testing on both CONFIG_OF and !CONFIG_OF builds, but I'm going to do some more to make sure I've not missed anything. > I believe that would certainly help the current OMAP problems, where > the current lack of CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN basically makes the kernel oops > on boot. > > How we fix this regression for 3.4 I've no idea at present, I'm trying > to work out what the real dependencies are for OMAP on this stuff. > > Finally, do we need asm/irq.h in our asm/prom.h ?

There may be a file or two that break because they're not including everything they need, but I don't think anything in the header requires it. The irq_domain code is well isolated. The header file doesn't need to be including it. g. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
