From 19afc3d269fe66137ddb030b8ffdb8553066ba4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Burton Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 22:21:19 +0100 Subject: irqchip: i8259: Allow platforms to override poll function The default i8259 polling function (i8259_irq) is nicely generic but is fairly costly. Platforms often provide an alternative means of polling for an i8259 interrupt, and when using the i8259 without device tree have typically just chained its parent interrupt to their own handler function. In order to allow for platform-specific polling functions to be used in cases where the driver is probed via device tree, provide an i8259_set_poll function that accepts a pointer to an alternative poll function that will override the default.
