NAK

I am not willing to take platform specific code in the generic IORT layer.

ACPI on ARM64 works on platforms that comply with SBSA/SBBR guidelines:


https://developer.arm.com/architectures/platform-design/server-systems

Deviating from those requires butchering ACPI specifications (ie IORT) and
related kernel code which goes totally against what ACPI is meant for on ARM64
systems, so there is no upstream pathway for this code I am afraid.

Reason of adding this platform specific function in the generic IORT layer is
That iort_get_device_domain() only deals with PCI bus (DOMAIN_BUS_PCI_MSI).

fsl-mc objects when probed, need to find irq_domain which is associated with
the fsl-mc bus (DOMAIN_BUS_FSL_MC_MSI). It will not be possible to do that
if we do not add this function because there are no other suitable APIs exported
by IORT layer to do the job.

I think we all understood the patch. What both Lorenzo and myself are saying is
that we do not want non-PCI support in IORT.

You have decided to have exotic hardware, and sidestep all the standardization
efforts. This is your right. But you can't have your cake and eat it.

Thanks,
