Apologies if this sounds novice, but after referring the omap specific
alsa drivers, I wasn't able to locate any request_irq function getting
called, I have traced the omap_request_dma function but it also
doesn't explicaitly call request_irq, but in the file
arch/arm/plat-omap/dma.c there is call arch_initcall(omap_init_dma),
which calls request_irq. As per my humble knowledge this is part of
board specific init and is done at boot time, so does this mean that
it is done only once at boot time and any driver specific callback is
called from this function? Can anyone throw more light on this, or
answer my basic question why there is no request_irq in any of the
omap specific files? I am using 2.6.19 kernel.
