+Subject: [PATCH 1018/1018] ACPI / PCI: fix GIC irq model default PCI IRQ
+ polarity
+
+On ACPI ARM based systems the GIC interrupt controller
+and corresponding interrupt model permit only the high
+polarity for level interrupts.
+
+ACPI firmware describes PCI legacy IRQs through entries
+in the _PRT objects. Entries in the _PRT can be of two types:
+
+- Static: not configurable, trigger/polarity default to level-low,
+  _PRT entry defines the global GSI interrupt number
+- Configurable: _PRT interrupt entry contains a reference to the
+  corresponding PCI interrupt link device (that in turn provides the
+  interrupt descriptor through its _CRS/_PRS methods)
+
+Configurable IRQ entries are not currently allowed by the ACPI
+specification on ARM since they can only be used for interrupt pins that
+are routable, as per ACPI specifications (version 6.1, 6.2.13):
+
+"[...] There are two ways that _PRT can be used. Typically, the
+interrupt input that a given PCI interrupt is on is configurable. For
+example, a given PCI interrupt might be configured for either IRQ 10 or
+11 on an 8259 interrupt controller. In this model, each interrupt is
+represented in the ACPI namespace as a PCI Interrupt Link Device. [...]"
+
+ARM platforms GIC configurations do not allow dynamic IRQ routing,
+since routing is statically laid out at synthesis time; therefore PCI
+interrupt links cannot be used for PCI legacy IRQ descriptions in the
+_PRT on ARM systems.
+
+On the other hand, current core ACPI code handling PCI legacy IRQs
+consider IRQ trigger/polarity for static _PRT entries as level-low.
+
+On ARM systems with a GIC interrupt controller and corresponding
+ACPI interrupt model this does not work in that GIC interrupt
+controller is only capable of handling level interrupts whose
+polarity is high (for PCI legacy IRQs - that are level-low by
+specification - this means that the legacy IRQs are inverted before
+reaching the interrupt controller pin), resulting in IRQ allocation
+failures such as:
+
+genirq: Setting trigger mode 8 for irq 18 failed (gic_set_type+0x0/0x48)
+
+Change the default polarity for PCI legacy IRQs to high on systems
+booting wth ACPI on platforms with a GIC interrupt controller model,
+fixing the discrepancy between specification and HW behaviour.
