So that I get it right:

- 96 inputs
- 8 outputs

This driver picks 8 of the inputs (and at most 8), and pass then down
to the GIC. Do I understand that correctly?

Although the maths do check out, I find it rather dangerous. The
versatile nature of DT makes me say that sooner or later, someone is
going to punt this in front of something that will need more than 3
interrupt cells for the parent irqchip, and things will be...
interesting. Even GICv3 in some configuration requires 4 cells.

You've been warned! ;-)

Oh $DEITY. No, really not. I don't know where to start.

- This type of handler should almost never appear in an interrupt
controller driver. Under the right circumstances, it will deadlock.

- If I understood the above correctly, this should be modelled as a
hierarchy sitting on top of the GIC, and not as a mux. A good way to
notice that this is not a mux is that there is no register to read
and find out what fired.

- The fact that you have to invent src_hwirq instead of directly using
data->hwirq is a clear sign that something is amiss.

Another sure sign that this is wrong, the flow handler. In 99% of the
case, using handle_simple_irq is wrong. I'd expect something that
matches the underlying interrupt controller (a fasteoi handler).

This should never happen. Mappings should be created from discovering
the interrupt specifiers for devices in the DT, and not eagerly at
probe time.

And this is a result of using an interrupt handler in the driver. Bad.

It feels very odd that you configure the routing at probe time, and not
at runtime. This should really happen when the client devices are
probed...

Can you please confirm that my understanding of how the HW works is
correct? If so, we can help you turning this around.

Thanks,
