* Modify way of obtaining interrupts - with ACPI they are resources bound to struct platform_device and it's not possible to obtain them directly from the child node. Hence a formula is used, depending on the port_id and number of possible CPUs.Hi Marcin I know nothing about ACPI. Is this limitation with respect to interrupts fundamental to ACPI, or just that nobody has implemented flexible interrupt support yet?The infrastructure is there to traverse trees of children, but I don't think there any helper functions.
Thanks, so if I implement such, do you expect any formal issues that prevent its acceptance? Best regards, Marcin
