My brain is rotting... I think it was gic_of_init that I was thinking of
but still can't find the email.

Will your code even link currently with !CONFIG_OF. I would think it
cannot resolve gic_of_init in that case.

I have a lot of concerns that supporting both CONFIG_OF and !CONFIG_OF
is going to be a pain as it's yet another variable to compile against.
In order to actually start reducing reducing the size of the ARM
platform code (that is the goal, right?), platforms need to be always OF
enabled and start removing the !CONFIG_OF code. So why not always turn
on CONFIG_OF for Tegra and not worry about this? Eventually, CONFIG_OF
will always be enabled anyway.

I've been looking at hooking up the Tegra GPIO controller's IRQ support
through device tree. It looks like I need to call irq_domain_add_simple()
for the GPIO node to make this work, and I think this needs to be triggered
by of_irq_init()'s match table, and hence I need a single of_irq_init()
call in Tegra's board-dt.c, which includes both the GIC and GPIO controller
entries.

Is my understanding here all correct? If so, I will just follow your
initial suggestion and have tegra_init_irq() do just:

Yes, you should have 1 of_irq_init call. Really the irqdomain code
should go into the gpio code. Do you use generic irqchip for gpio? If
so, I'm working on a patch adding irqdomain to generic irqchip. I still
need to debug a problem with it and have been too busy to get back to it.

Rob

if (!of_have_populated_dt())
        gic_init_bases(...);

... and move the of_irq_init call into board-dt.c.

Thanks.
