Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/sifive-plic: Panic if initialization fails
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 16:50:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911145037.427896-1-namcao@linutronix.de> (raw)
If PLIC initialization fails, the driver unwinds and returns an error.
However, that is futile because the system cannot function without the
PLIC: all device interrupts are routed through it.
Instead of the unnecessary cleanups, panic when PLIC initialization fails.
