I noticed these when debugging another issue. The first patch is a fix
to address some error handling. The second is just cosmetic.

Changes in v2:
- split bug-fix from cosmetic change

Chris Packham (2):
  pinctrl: iproc: allow for error from platform_get_irq()
  pinctrl: iproc: use unique name for irq chip

platform_get_irq() can return an error code. Allow for this when getting
the irq.

Use the dev_name(dev) for the irqc->name so that we get unique names
when we have multiple instances of this driver.

A while ago, Marc Zyngier pointed out that the irq_chip .name field
should contain the device's class name, not the instance's name.
Hence the current code is correct?

See also "[PATCH 0/4] irqchip: renesas: Use proper irq_chip name and parent"
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190607095858.10028-1-geert+renesas@glider.be/)
Note that the irqchip patches in that series have been applied; the gpio
patches haven't been applied yet.

Thanks Geert for looping me in. The main reasons why I oppose this
kind of "let's show as much information as we can in /proc/interrupts"
are:

- It clutters the output badly: the formatting of this file, which is
  bad enough when you have a small number of CPUs, becomes unreadable
  when you have a large number of them *and* stupidly long strings
  that only make sense on a given platform.

- Like it or not, /proc is ABI. We don't change things randomly there
  without a good reason, and debugging isn't one of them.

- Debug information belongs to debugfs, where we already have plenty
  of stuff (see CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS). I'd rather we improve
  this infrastructure if needed, rather than add platform specific
  hacks.

</rant>

Thanks,

	M.

Thanks Marc/Geert.  Sounds like we should drop patch 2 from series.
