The IXP4xx (arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx) is an old Intel XScale platform that has very wide deployment and use. As part of modernizing the platform, we need to implement a proper irqchip in the irqchip subsystem. The IXP4xx irqchip is tightly jotted together with the GPIO controller, and whereas in the past we would deal with this complex logic by adding necessarily different code, we can nowadays modernize it using a hierarchical irqchip. The actual IXP4 irqchip is a simple active low level IRQ controller, whereas the GPIO functionality resides in a different memory area and adds edge trigger support for the interrupts. The interrupts from GPIO lines 0..12 are 1:1 mapped to a fixed set of hardware IRQs on this IRQchip, so we expect the child GPIO interrupt controller to go in and allocate descriptors for these interrupts. For the other interrupts, as we do not yet have DT support for this platform, we create a linear irqdomain and then go in and allocate the IRQs that the legacy boards use. This code will be removed on the DT probe path when we add DT support to the platform. We add some translation code for supporting DT translations for the fwnodes, but we leave most of that for later.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
