SubjectRe: [PATCH v1 1/1] gpio: Support interrupts in gpio-mlxbf2.c
Hi Asmaa,

thanks for your patch!

Please send GPIO related patches to linux-gpio@vger.kernel.org!

Is this a property of the GPIO block or more of a property of the
chip?

This is normal for cascaded GPIO interrupts.

Then they should be doing so using drivers in the proper kernel
subsystems, such as
drivers/power/reset/gpio-poweroff.c
drivers/power/reset/gpio-restart.c

Userspace has no business trying to intercept and take control
over such low level tasks as machine reset.

Then the phy driver should obtain its IRQ just like any other IRQ
in the system, the fact that it happens to be on a GPIO line
does not matter.

That's fine, the hardware description model (I guess in your case
ACPI) should take care of that.

OK and then the kernel uses ACPI.

We have some ACPI experts on GPIO, and you must have noticed
that we have a special ACPI layer for gpiolib.

This is what should provide IRQ resources to your other drivers so they
can look them up with a simple
struct gpio_desc *gpiod = devm_gpiod_get(dev, ...)

NOTE: you are using GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP so you need to
add

select GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP

to Kconfig for this driver.

Send this as a separate patch as it is only administrativa.
It's fine I think, you mostly wrote this driver.

This looks weird but let's see!

We usually don't make this kind of stuff, skip this.
It's not like the API changes.

Shouldn't this address come from ACPI?

Does this mean it is four bytes? That should be implied I think.

I think this should be handled by a driver outside of GPIO
like those I pointed out. We need strict separation of concerns
between GPIO and other drivers.

Dito.

Dito. Should be handled by the PHY driver.

Uh oh that's interesting. I need someone from ACPI camp to look at this.

To me it seems more like something that either ACPI should handle internally
or, if that is impossible, something that could be added to
drivers/power/reset/gpio-poweroff.c

So you determine that some line is an "ACPI event" using some hardware
registers? I don't know, this looks fragile.

I would rather you use the built-in gpiolib irqchip IRQ domain
for this. I think you can just delete this. The core should provide it.

Why? This should be initialized by the core as an effect
of bgpio_init().

Maybe a separate patch adding some debug print? Not the biggest thing but...

Drop this.

I see what you are doing but why on earth are these resources tied to
this interrupt controller? They should be resources for something else
in my mind, however I don't know much about ACPI.

Why is it oneshot? That is usually just useful for threaded IRQs.

Ugh this is messy, we need to provide the IRQs out of the driver in
a clean way.
