PATCH 1/1 dt-bindings: Drop required 'interrupt-parent'

'interrupt-parent' is never required as it can be in a parent node or a parent node itself can be an interrupt provider. Where exactly it lives is outside the scope of a binding schema.

There are multiple interrupt controllers on TI K3 devices, and we need this property to be defined _specifically_ to point to the relevant interrupt router parent node.

While what you state in general is true, I cannot have a node not define this on K3 devices, and end up using the wrong interrupt parent (GIC interrupt-controller). That's why the conditional compatible check.

While what you state in general is true, I cannot have a node not define this on K3 devices, and end up using the wrong interrupt parent (GIC interrupt-controller). That's why the conditional compatible check.

But you could.

The parent node can have a default interrupt-parent and child nodes can override that. It doesn't matter which one is the default though typically you would want the one used the most to be the default. Looking at your dts files, it looks like you all did the opposite. The only way that wouldn't work is if the parent node is if the parent node has its own 'interrupts' or you are just abusing 'interrupt-parent' where the standard parsing doesn't work.

You are also free to use 'interrupts-extended' anywhere 'interrupts' is used and then interrupt-parent being present is an error. How you structure all this is outside the scope of binding schemas which only need to define how many interrupts and what are they. Ensuring parents and cell sizes are correct is mostly done by dtc.

Yes, this is understood. The OMAP Mailbox binding is reused between multiple SoC families, some of which do not use an Interrupt Router in between.

So, whats the best way to enforce this in the specific schema? I have used the common 'interrupts' property that applies to all SoCs, and enforced the conditional 'interrupt-parent' only on relevant compatibles.

Hmm, I am not sure I understood your last comment. Can you point out the specific usage?

Perhaps an example. These are all equivalent:

parent {

  child1 {
    interrupt-parent = <&intc1>;
    interrupts = <1>;
  };
  child2 {
    interrupt-parent = <&intc2>;
    interrupts = <2>;

};
};

parent {
interrupt-parent = <&intc1>; // Or in the parent's parent...

  child1 {
    interrupts = <1>;
  };
  child2 {
    interrupt-parent = <&intc2>;
    interrupts = <2>;

};
};

parent {
interrupt-parent = <&intc2>;

  child1 {
    interrupt-parent = <&intc1>;
    interrupts = <1>;
  };
  child2 {
    interrupts = <2>;

};
};

You could structure main_navss and child nodes in any of these 3 ways.

No! I'm just saying there are multiple correct ways to write the dts files.

All our K3 gic500 nodes does have an 'interrupts' property.

I said the parent node, not the 'interrupt-parent'. In this case, the parent is 'main_navss: bus@30800000'. It doesn't have 'interrupts' in your case, so only the 2nd case is a possibility.

You can't. There is no way a schema can ensure you connect the right interrupt controller just as it can't ensure you used the right interrupt number and flags or used the right addresses. Well, you could technically, but then at that point we could just generate the dts from the schema.
