Thank you for your reminding.

In <PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 3.0>:
Devices (or device functions) that do not use an interrupt pin must put a 0 in this register. This register is read-only.

So, do you think this is a hardware bug? But these pci-devices are not produced by our company.

In function init_service_irqs, it try msix first, then msi, Interrupt PIN is the last attemption. But of_irq_parse_pci() happened before this.


In fact, there also a familiar problem exist. As below:
pci 0000:42:00.0: BAR 7: no space for [io  size 0x1000]
pci 0000:42:00.0: BAR 7: failed to assign [io  size 0x1000]

There no "io space" on arm64, maybe only exist on X86. And the Memory Space Indicator also read-only in BAR register.

Actually, we have another way to block this warning. Use "interrupt-map" to map it to a pesudo IRQ. But I think it will also be misunderstanded.

In <host-generic-pci.txt>:
// PCI_DEVICE(3)  INT#(1)  CONTROLLER(PHANDLE)  CONTROLLER_DATA(3)
    interrupt-map = <  0x0 0x0 0x0  0x1  &gic  0x0 0x4 0x1

PCI_DEVICE contain 3 cells. But only the first one be used in function of_irq_parse_pci.
laddr[0] = cpu_to_be32((pdev->bus->number << 16) | (pdev->devfn << 8));
laddr[1] = laddr[2] = cpu_to_be32(0);

And for INT#, I don't think there will some Pins used but others unused on a pci-device. So I can ommit it.

So, only laddr[0] mask need to be described.
