The point is that the few users of that API today are using 0 as a base as well, so I thought it was still valid.quoted
Is 0 ever a valid interrupt for a driver? If so, you must not use 0 for the base. I would pick 16 to skip over legacy ISA irqs.I do not have any 0 interrupts right now, my concern is that I still have some legacy non-DT drivers that expect the previous hwirq = irq mapping.I guess it depends how easily you can shift all the irq defines. You allow specifying the base so that you can set it to 0 for non-DT and -1 (dynamic allocation) for DT.The issue, is that the IRQs are not defined anymore but hard coded in the hwmod database. And the idea is that this is reflecting exactly the hwirq from the spec, so I do not want to add any artificial offset for the domain in the original data.quoted

irqdomains should always be enabled regardless of CONFIG_OF. So either you can leave it as is if OF is always enabled for OMAP, or you should move domain setup into omap_init_irq.OK, but it looks like I cannot really modify the current INTC to DT without having fully adapted the OMAP drivers to use irq_of_parse_and_map. Or did I miss something?No, the drivers should not need to be modified as long as they get the irq's from platform device resources. You just want to make sure the INTC has no knowledge of it's irq base so it can change.OK, the driver will not have to change but the IRQ value will not be the same in the case of DT since it will use the irq_create_of_mapping. Currently, the driver IRQ resource is 7 for example for the twl, this is the hwirq (= irq). If I use a domain with a base of 16, the resource will still be 7 except if the resource is created from OF, then it will be 23. The only way I have today to maintain the legacy drivers to work without hacking the OMAP resource code is to keep the base_irq at 0.For non-DT case, that is fine. It should not be hard to support 0 for legacy and !0 for DT.Mmm, I'm probably missing something here. My point is that even in the DT case I do have some devices that are initialized without DT for the moment and thus cannot get access to the interrupt-controller node and then cannot retrieve the domain information. How can I ensure the proper hwirq -> irq translation then for such devices? Only the one created by DT will have the correct irq number.
Okay, I missed that aspect of it. So I guess 0 base is fine for now. Rob
Adding some hacks to add a +16 is clearly possible, but that will be a dirty hacks in the OMAP core code that will have to be removed later. So I'd rather keep the domain with a 0 offset to avoid all these temporary hacks.quoted

Since I do not have any hwirq at 0 so far, is it a big deal to keep the base_irq at 0 for the moment? It will be easier to transition to DT that way without breaking the existing drivers.As long as it is trivial to change later. I'm afraid that if it is not changed, then we won't know if it is trivial.As soon as every devices are initialized from DT, the irq_base will become transparent, since both the IRQ handler and the IRQ resource will use the irq_domain_to_irq to get the irq from the hwirq. At that time adding 16 will then be straightforward. That's why I prefer that approach which is the one that generate the minimal temporary effort. Regards, Benoit
