The current placement of devm_request_threaded_irq() is inconvenient. It is between the allocation of the "felix" structure and dsa_register_switch(), both of which we'd like to refactor into a function that's common for all switches. But the IRQ is specific to felix_vsc9959. A closer inspection of the felix_irq_handler() code suggests that it does things that depend on the data structures having been fully initialized. For example, ocelot_get_txtstamp() takes &port->tx_skbs.lock, which has only been initialized in ocelot_init_port() which has not run yet. It is not one of those IRQF_SHARED IRQs, so CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ_FIXME shouldn't apply here, and thus, it doesn't really matter, because in practice, the IRQ will not be triggered so early. Nonetheless, it is a good practice for the driver to be prepared for it to fire as soon as it is requested. Create a new felix->info method for running custom code for vsc9959 from within felix_setup(), and move the request_irq() call there. The ocelot_ext should have an IRQ as well, so this should be a step in the right direction for that model (VSC7512) as well. Some minor changes are made while moving the code. Casts from void * aren't necessary, so drop them, and rename felix_irq_handler() to the more specific vsc9959_irq_handler().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
