I've not been able to find where the ACPI spec says that zero is not a
valid GSIV. This may simply be an oversight/ambiguity in the spec.

Is there any statement to that effect?

This no_irq variable is messy and confusing.

Get rid of no_irq, and replace it with nr_res, initialised to
ARRAY_SIZE(res). If there's no interrupt, subtract one.

My reading of SBSA is that there is one watchdog in the system.

Is that not the case?

I don't think this is necessary.

This series hasn't touched this driver code at all.

Thanks,
Mark.
