[PATCH] powerpc: pci-ioda: Fix the stale irq chip reference

From: Shivaprasad G Bhat <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-19 18:00:38
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The commit f0ac60e6e311 ("powerpc/powernv/pci: Switch to use
msi_create_parent_irq_domain()") removed the legacy MSI irq chip
pnv_pci_msi_irq_chip but left behind the static definition of it and
its reference in is_pnv_opal_msi().

The KVM IRQ bypass for vfio devices is broken because the
comparision in is_pnv_opal_msi() fails on the comparision with
stale unused variable showing the below errors in dmesg.

 kvmppc_set_passthru_irq_hv: Could not assign IRQ map for (X,Y)
 kvmppc_set_passthru_irq (irq X, gsi Y) fails: -2
 vfio-pci A:B:C.D irq bypass producer (eventfd Z) registration fails: -2

The patch removes the stale variable definition and fixes the
is_pnv_opal_msi() by comparing against the chip name prefix.
