+Sudeep, again...

Sudeep, you may want to look at v2 again.

optee, Optee, or OP-TEE?

Why can't you standardize the interrupt numbering for standard events 
like SCMI?


I think there's still concern as to why this can't all be discoverable. 
The Optee driver should know or discover from Optee that it is an 
interrupt controller and can register itself as such. Likewise, the 
SCMI driver knows for scmi-optee, the interrupt comes from the Optee 
node. It can find that node (by compatible) and then find the 
irqchip/domain provider for that node.

OTOH, SCMI already supports interrupts in the binding, so this isn't 
too big of a deal. I'm more concerned that once you have Optee 
interrupts, then you are going to want a node for every Optee 
sub-function with an interrupt. Then we're back to the very first Optee 
binding with a child node for every sub-function. Using it for gpio-keys 
as you did in the first version for example.

If Sudeep is okay with this from an SCMI perspective and Marc is from an 
irqchip perspective, then I'm okay with it too.
