It is not uncommon (at least with the ARM stuff) to have a piece
of hardware that implements different flavours of "interrupts".
A typical example of this is the GICv3 ITS, which implements
standard PCI/MSI support, but also some form of "generic MSI".
So far, the PCI/MSI domain is registered using the ITS device_node,
so that irq_find_host can return it. On the contrary, the raw MSI
domain is not registered with an device_node, making it impossible
to be looked up by another subsystem (obviously, using the same
device_node twice would only result in confusion, as it is not
defined which one irq_find_host would return).
A solution to this is to "type" domains that may be aliasing, and
to be able to lookup an device_node that matches a given type.
For this, we introduce irq_find_matching_host() as a superset
of irq_find_host:
struct irq_domain *irq_find_matching_host(struct device_node *node,
enum irq_domain_bus_token bus_token);
where bus_token is the "type" we want to match the domain against
(so far, only DOMAIN_BUS_ANY is defined). This result in some
moderately invasive changes on the PPC side (which is the only
user of the .match method).
This has otherwise no functionnal change.
