drivers/base: Add MSI domain support for non-PCI devices
With the msi_list and the msi_domain properties now being at the generic device level, it is starting to be relatively easy to offer a generic way of providing non-PCI MSIs. The two major hurdles with this idea are: - Lack of global ID that identifies a device: this is worked around by having a global ID allocator for each device that gets enrolled in the platform MSI subsystem - Lack of standard way to write the message in the generating device. This is solved by mandating driver code to provide a write_msg callback, so that everyone can have their own square wheel Apart from that, the API is fairly straightforward: - platform_msi_create_irq_domain creates an MSI domain that gets tagged with DOMAIN_BUS_PLATFORM_MSI - platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs allocate MSIs for a given device, populating the msi_list - platform_msi_domain_free_irqs does what is written on the tin [ tglx: Created a seperate struct platform_msi_desc and added kerneldoc entries ] Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Cc: <linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org> Cc: Yijing Wang <wangyijing@huawei.com> Cc: Ma Jun <majun258@huawei.com> Cc: Lorenzo Pieralisi <lorenzo.pieralisi@arm.com> Cc: Duc Dang <dhdang@apm.com> Cc: Hanjun Guo <hanjun.guo@linaro.org> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Cc: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jason Cooper <jason@lakedaemon.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1438091186-10244-10-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.comSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
