Add a new function for RISC-V to do any architecture specific initialization. This function will be used to create platform devices like APLIC, PLIC, RISC-V IOMMU etc. This is similar to acpi_arm_init().What is the special about this architecture that it requires a separate initialization that is _not_ going to be in other cases? Please, elaborate.This init function will be used to create GSI mapping structures and in future may be others like iommu. Like I mentioned, ARM already has similar function acpi_arm_init(). So, it is not new right?
Just to add: This is to initialise everything around all the arch specific tables which you will not have on any other architectures. We could execute on all architectures but the tables will never be found. The main point is why do we want to do that if we can optimise and skip on all other archs. -- Regards, Sudeep _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
