Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] irqchip/gic*: Complain about the use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE
Grepping through the dts files, the documentation, and reviewing patches, one can only notice the use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE in interrupt specifiers. At least for the GIC, this doesn't mean anything. The unsuspecting driver will end-up with whatever was there before, and there is a 50% probability that it is not what it wants.
I'd love to fix it myself, but I also have a 50% probability of getting it wrong. In order to make the user aware they are walking on thin ice, let's add some warnings. Hopefully, they'll be annoying enough that people will fix their firmware. Croudsourcing debugging...
If nobody complains louder than the warnings, I plan to get this into 4.17.
