That requires a platform_device to be passed to platform_irq_count(), will that work even when the drivers remain built into the kernel and get initialized early on?

No, does your irqchip using this do both? Looks to me like it is always a platform_device. Rob

On ARM/ARM64 not using GKI as well as MIPS, we would want the module to be built into the kernel image, however when using GKI that driver would become a module. How do you suggest reconciling both usages?

How do you suggest reconciling both usages? What's there to resolve? Every driver that works as a module can be built-in. Is there something special about irqchip drivers? The only issue I see here is platform_irqchip_probe() doesn't pass the platform_device pointer to the irq_init_cb function. There's 3 ways to fix that. Add a platform_device pointer to the init hook. That's a global change though. That's the right thing to do IMO. Or you can use of_find_device_by_node(). That's fairly expensive, but easy and isolated. You could also set device_node.data pointer to the platform_device, but ideally I'd like to get rid of that pointer as it's hardly used. Rob

How do you suggest reconciling both usages? I don't see what GKI has to do with anything. Either the driver can be built as a module (and it is in this case a platform device at all times, built-in or not), or it cannot, and it falls into the IRQCHIP_DECLARE() category (and there is no export problem). Pick your poison! Thanks, M.
