It seems you listed register interrupts, not physical pins. This should
be interrupt lines.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here. I couldn't find an interrupt-lines
property used anywhere so that's not what you meant, right?

Are these physical interrupt lines this device has, register offsets or
virtual interrupts (e.g. passed via irq_chip)? Definitely not the first
and rather offsets for qpnpint_irq_domain_translate. Devicetree is not
for describing register layout of devices. IOW, register layout does not
change on different boards, because the device is exactly the same, so
there is no point to put it into DTS.


So how would I describe the interrupts then? Or if you are saying I shouldn't have these interrupts in DT at all, how would I get them and register handlers for them in the driver? the PMIC arbiter takes 4 interrupt cells, 3 of which are these offsets specifying the peripheral and interrupt. All other PMIC peripherals currently described in DT (examples being qcom,pm8916-wcd-analog-codec, qcom,pm8941-pwrkey and qcom-wled) have their interrupts (if any) described this way, with the only exceptions perhaps being the GPIO and MPP controllers which are themselves interrupt controllers. Changing the way PMIC peripheral interrupts are described would require changing PMIC arbiter bindings and code which I believe is out of the scope of this patch series.
