PDC interrupt controller driver do not use second reg. Remove it.
This is a DT file, not a driver. What the driver does is irrelevant.

The real question is: what does this range do?

Thanks,

M.
This is to set interrupt type in SPI config for which there was a
change [1] but has not gone in for upstream PDC driver.

The second reg is not used in upstream PDC driver, probably when
posting downstream DT changes for sm8350/sm8250 it was carried in
device node as is.

As its not mentioned in bindigs as well, dtbs_check reports it as
additional reg when converted to yaml.
Then I'd rather you provide accurate documentation in the binding
rather than changing the DT files. Other operating systems may use it,
and it isn't unlikely that Linux could use the feature at some point.

I agree. Maulik, please update the DT binding to document this region as
well.
sure. updated in v2.


It also seems relevant to pursue getting [1] into the upstream Linux
kernel. Is this something that you use downstream Maulik?

Yes its used in downstream. We can pursue to get [1] in.

Thanks,
Maulik
