[PATCH 0/5] irq: generic-chip: resource management improvements

Show all headers | View raw

This series is a follow-up to [1].

Some users of irq_alloc_generic_chip() are modules which can be
removed (e.g. gpio-ml-ioh) but have no means of freeing the allocated
generic chip.

Last time it was suggested to provide irq_destroy_generic_chip() which
would undo both irq_remove_generic_chip() and irq_alloc_generic_chip().

This functionality is provided by patch 2/5 with 1/5 adding the option
to only free the allocated memory.

Patch 3/5 exports a function that will be used in the devres variant
of irq_alloc_generic_chip().

Patches 4/5 and 5/5 add resource managed versions of
irq_alloc_generic_chip() & irq_setup_generic_chip(). They will be used
in drivers where applicable. Device resources are released in reverse
order so it's ok to call devm_irq_alloc_generic_chip() and then
devm_irq_setup_generic_chip().
