Trigger type needs to be IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH since the interrupt
signal gets inverted by the PMC (configured by the invert-interrupt
property).

I could not test that patch since I don't have such hardware.
However, I stumbled on that error while tracing a similar error
on Colibri T30.

Isn't the reason the other way around? The PMIC generates a low-level
interrupt, but the GIC can only be configured to accept high-level (or
rising edge) and therefore the nvidia,invert-interrupt property needs to
be set in the PMC node?

One nitpick below.

I'd prefer to keep the properties grouped as before. interrupts is a
"client" property, whereas #interrupt-cells and interrupt-controller
are "provider" properties.

And I think the comment would be more appropriate in the pmc node, for
the same reason that I think the commit description isn't entirely
accurate.

Hm yes agreed. I should also write the whole story here, maybe this:

The GIC only support high-active interrupts. When using a PMIC with
low-active interrupt, the PMC has to be configured by using the
nvidia,invert-interrupt property in its node.

This fix sets the GIC back to high-active and reverts commit
eca8f98e404934027f84f72882c5e92ffbd9e5f5.

Well, its kind a question where you are coming from. I read the data
sheet/schemata, and saw that its low-active. Then I went to the PMIC
node and checked how that interrupt is configured, and what you see is
HIGH_ACTIVE. You then think you've found the bug and fix it by setting
it to IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW. What you don't know is that PMC is in between
and alters the polarity...

(Trimming CC lists)

Stefan,

It'd be best to include the commit subject rather than just the commit
hash, i.e.:

... and reverts commit eca8f98e4049 "ARM: tegra: dalmore: fix the irq
trigger type of Palmas MFD device".

It may also be helpful for the commit description to quote the kernel
boot message which this patch solves:

> [    0.215178] genirq: Setting trigger mode 8 for irq 118 failed (gic_set_type+0x0/0xf4)

For me, applying this patch actually *causes* an interrupt storm, rather
than preventing one. Yet without it, no interrupts occur at all. I
wonder if the driver has a bug where it's not correctly clearing all
interrupt status (e.g. something pre-existing before boot), so once the
polarity is set up correctly, the interrupt is stuck?

Joseph,

As the author of the patch that's being reverted, can you please comment
here?

I had explained why I fixed this here.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2832646/

By checking the PMU_INT signal in the schematic of Dalmore, it only
supports active low. It was connected to !PWR_INT of Tegra114 that will
cause the system wake up automatically when syspended to LP0 if active
high.

That's why my change is setting the IRQ type of PMIC to active low and
keep the "nvidia,invert-interrupt". And it can make the LP0/1/2 work
proper.

So this patch will make the PMIC not working on Dalmore and break the 
suspend function.

Looking back at that conversation, I'm not convinced by your explanation.

Some questions:

What does the PMIC output for an IRQ signal? It sounds like SW can
select either active-high level, or active-low level. Which of those is
the HW default? Does the Linux kernel driver attempt to program the HW
to select one or the other? If so, how does it determine which option to
choose, and where's the code that does that?

For now, let's not worry about system suspend issues, what the GIC
supports, etc. I only want to know about the PMIC for now.

Once we know the answer to that question, we can correctly configure the DT.
