This patch set introduces support for MSI(-X) in GICv2m specification,
which is implemented in some variation of GIC400.

This depends on and has been tested with the V7 of"Add support for PCI in AArch64"
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/320).

Changes in V3:
* Rebase to git://git.infradead.org/users/jcooper/linux.git irqchip/gic
(per Jason Cooper request)
* Misc fix/clean up per Mark Rutland comments
* Minor Clean up in the driver/irqchip/irq-gic-v2m.c: alloc_msi_irqs()
* Patch 4 is new to the series:
* Add ARM64-specific version arch_setup_msi_irqs() to allow support
for Multiple MSI.
* Add support for Multiple MSI for GICv2m.

irqchip: gicv2m: Add support for multiple MSI for ARM64 GICv2m

Ok, patch #1 applied to irqchip/urgent. Patches 2 and 3 applied to
irqchip/gic with irqchip/urgent merged in. To facilitate
testing/merging, I've prepared an unsigned tag for you on the
irqchip/gic branch:

I'm a little concerned that this is all going through for v3.17 without
a {Reviewed,Acked}-by from Marc or anyone working with GIC{,v2m}.

While his comments on v1 have been addressed, he has not had a chance to
acknowledge the solutions. I appreciate Marc's holiday is unfortunately
timed.

I also have an open concern with the binding with regard to the
orthogonality of GICV GICH and the MSI registers.

The MSI part is normally enabled from the optional "msi-controller" keyword. It should not really matter which compatible ID it uses.

Ooops. I noticed that was accidentally dropped the check for "msi-controller" in the gicv2m_of_init() function. I'll send a follow up patch to fix this.

Suravee, do you need this urgently for v3.17? I was under the impression
that we wouldn't have full PCIe support by then.


PCI is the dependency for this patch to function. So, it should be aligned with upstreaming of PCI patches.
