ACPI support is added in the fsl-mc driver. Driver will parse MC DSDT
table to extract memory and other resorces.

Interrupt (GIC ITS) information will be extracted from MADT table by
drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3-its-fsl-mc-msi.c.

IORT table will be parsed to configure DMA.

NAK

I am not willing to take platform specific code in the generic IORT
layer.

ACPI on ARM64 works on platforms that comply with SBSA/SBBR
guidelines:


https://developer.arm.com/architectures/platform-design/server-systems

Deviating from those requires butchering ACPI specifications (ie IORT)
and
related kernel code which goes totally against what ACPI is meant for
on ARM64
systems, so there is no upstream pathway for this code I am afraid.

Reason of adding this platform specific function in the generic IORT
layer is
That iort_get_device_domain() only deals with PCI bus
(DOMAIN_BUS_PCI_MSI).

fsl-mc objects when probed, need to find irq_domain which is associated
with
the fsl-mc bus (DOMAIN_BUS_FSL_MC_MSI). It will not be possible to do
that
if we do not add this function because there are no other suitable APIs
exported
by IORT layer to do the job.

I think we all understood the patch. What both Lorenzo and myself are
saying is
that we do not want non-PCI support in IORT.

IORT supports platform devices (aka named components) as well, and
there is some support for platform MSIs in the GIC layer.

So it may be possible to hide your exotic bus from the OS entirely,
and make the firmware instantiate a DSDT with device objects and
associated IORT nodes that describe whatever lives on that bus as
named components.

That way, you will not have to change the OS at all, so your hardware
will not only be supported in linux v5.7+, it will also be supported
by OSes that commercial distro vendors are shipping today. *That* is
the whole point of using ACPI.

If you are going to bother and modify the OS, you lose this advantage,
and ACPI gives you no benefit over DT at all.
