I think the HW is fairly simple and straightforward comparing to other irq chips so it's rather a logic that concerned me the most i.e. why gpio irqs were handled in a "simple" manner whereas the rest of interrupts in "edge" manner. According to specification all interrupts are edge driven and that's how are they treated in set_type callback. First I thought that all can be handled as simple but then I realized it makes more sense in handling all of them as edge as they should according to specification. I will prepare a v3 series with more detailed explanation in it. 2018-02-23 9:42 GMT+01:00 Thomas Gleixner [off-list ref]:

- discards setting handle_simple_irq handler for hierarchy interrupts - removes acking in chained irq handler as this is done by irq_chip itself inside handle_edge_irq - removes unneeded irq_domain_ops.xlate callbackif that's all functionally correct, then this is a nice cleanup. Though from the above changelog its hard to tell because it merily tells WHAT the patch does, but not WHY. The WHY is the important information for a reviewer who is not familiar with the particular piece of code/hardware. Can you please amend the changelog with proper explanations why a particular piece of code is not needed or has to be changed to something else? Thanks, tglx
