Armada 38x supports per CPU interrupts for gpios, like Armada XP. Pre-XP variants like Armada 370 do not support per CPU interrupts for gpios. So change compatible string for Armada 38x from "marvell,armada-370-gpio" which indicates pre-XP variant to "marvell,armadaxp-gpio" which indicates XP variant or new. Driver gpio-mvebu.c which handles both pre-XP and XP variants already provides support for per CPU interrupts on XP and newer variants.

will work better as there are relevant differences between marvell,orion-gpio and marvell,armada-370-gpio.And if yes, do we really need this in DTS files for new kernel versions? I can imagine that such change can be relevant for old LTS kernel version, but not for new versions.quoted
For example some registers seem to have a different offset ...armada-370-gpio is mapped to MVEBU_GPIO_SOC_VARIANT_ORION, so it will get same offsets as orion-gpio. So no change.OK, you're right, my assumptions were wrong. I'm convinced your change is fine now: Acked-by: Uwe Kleine-König <redacted> Best regards Uwe
Ok, are there any other objections with this patch series?
