Hi Conor:

Thanks for your reply.

I was under the impression that the mips Loongson-2K1000 was also
required for this patch, so I committed it separately.
Maybe my commit should still be described in more detail.

For a better understanding, allow me to first explain the composition
of the interrupt routing register:
It is an 8 bit register that is divided into two parts:
0-3 : The processor core vector number of the route, this part is
handled in the code.
4-7 : The processor core interrupt pin vector number for routing, i.e.
int0-int3.
Each intx can handle 32 interrupt sources.

For example, in Loongson-2K1000/Loongson-2K0500, there are a total of
64 interrupt sources, and we need to route them to two intx.

We don't mandate which interrupt vector number must be used, in our
practice the tendency is to start with int0.
It is worth noting that we must follow the following correspondence:
interrupt->interrupt-names
2->int0
3->int1
4->int2
5->int3

Oh, this should be another point that needs to be modified, the
interrupt-names should be required. because in the driver code the
parent interrupts are fetched through of_irq_get_byname().

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/irqchip/irq-loongson-liointc.c?h=v6.5-rc6#n345

for (i = 0; i < LIOINTC_NUM_PARENT; i++) {
parent_irq[i] = of_irq_get_byname(node, parent_names[i]);
if (parent_irq[i] > 0)
have_parent = TRUE;
}
if (!have_parent)
return -ENODEV;

Also the way liointc-2.0 is written in the dts does not match the dt-binding.
The dts using loongson,liointc-2.0 are:
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/loongson64-2k1000.dtsi (mips Loongson-2K1000)
arch/loongarch/boot/dts/loongson-2k0500.dtsi
arch/loongarch/boot/dts/loongson-2k1000.dtsi
arch/loongarch/boot/dts/loongson-2k2000.dtsi

liointc0: interrupt-controller@1fe01400 {
......
interrupts = <2>;
interrupt-names = "int0";
loongson,parent_int_map = <0xffffffff>, /* int0 */
<0x00000000>, /* int1 */
<0x00000000>, /* int2 */
<0x00000000>; /* int3 */
};

liointc1: interrupt-controller@1fe01440 {
....
interrupts = <3>;
interrupt-names = "int1";
loongson,parent_int_map = <0x00000000>, /* int0 */
<0xffffffff>, /* int1 */
<0x00000000>, /* int2 */
<0x00000000>; /* int3 */
};

We split the two intx into two nodes because of register definitions
etc. There is the following WARNING at liointc1:

arch/loongarch/boot/dts/loongson-2k1000-ref.dtb:
interrupt-controller@1fe01440: interrupt-names:0: 'int0' was expected
From schema:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/loongson,liointc.yaml
arch/loongarch/boot/dts/loongson-2k1000-ref.dtb:
interrupt-controller@1fe01440: Unevaluated properties are not allowed
('interrupt-names' was unexpected)
From schema:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/loongson,liointc.yaml

But actually, in liointc1, we only need int1.

Thanks.
