        Hi Rob, Krzysztof,

This is a topic that came up at the RISC-V BoF at Plumbers, and it was
suggested to bring it up with you.
I guess you also need SoC maintainers as well (+Cc Arnd and Olof). :)

The same SoC may be available with either RISC-V or other (e.g. ARM) CPU
cores (an example of this are the Renesas RZ/Five and RZ/G2UL SoCs).
To avoid duplication, we would like to have:
  - <riscv-soc>.dtsi includes <base-soc>.dtsi,
  - <arm-soc>.dtsi includes <base-soc>.dtsi.

Unfortunately RISC-V and ARM typically use different types of interrupt
controllers, using different bindings (e.g. 2-cell vs. 3-cell), and
possibly using different interrupt numbers.  Hence the interrupt-parent
and interrupts{-extended} properties should be different, too.

Possible solutions[1]:
  1. interrupt-map

  2. Use a SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ() macro in interrupts properties in
     <base-soc>.dtsi, with
       - #define SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ(nr, na) nr          // RISC-V
       - #define SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ(nr, na) GIC_SPI na  // ARM
     Note that the cpp/dtc combo does not support arithmetic, so even
     the simple case where nr = 32 + na cannot be simplified.
What do you mean? Macros support string concatenation and simple
arithmetic like adding numbers. I just tested it.
I did try the below:
diff --git a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r9a07g043.dtsi

This worked as expected, but couldn't get the arithmetic operation
working. Could you please provide an example?

Cheers,
Prabhakar
