PCI: Add pci_irq_type() to query the allocated interrupt typegrafted
Add a helper that returns PCI_IRQ_MSIX, PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX based on the interrupt type the PCI core selected after pci_alloc_irq_vectors(). Several drivers already open-code this check against pdev->msix_enabled and pdev->msi_enabled, or even open code this helper [1]. A common helper avoids the duplication and keeps drivers from accessing the bitfield directly (see also [2]).

+What: /sys/firmware/secvar
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: This directory is created if the POWER firmware supports OS
+ secureboot, thereby secure variables. It exposes interface
+ for reading/writing the secure variables
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: This directory lists all the secure variables that are supported
+ by the firmware.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/format
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: A string indicating which backend is in use by the firmware.
+ This determines the format of the variable and the accepted
+ format of variable updates.
+
+ On powernv/OPAL, this value is provided by the OPAL firmware
+ and is expected to be "ibm,edk2-compat-v1".
+
+ On pseries/PLPKS, this is generated by the kernel based on the
+ version number in the SB_VERSION variable in the keystore. The
+ version numbering in the SB_VERSION variable starts from 1. The
+ format string takes the form "ibm,plpks-sb-v<version>" in the
+ case of dynamic key management mode. If the SB_VERSION variable
+ does not exist (or there is an error while reading it), it takes
+ the form "ibm,plpks-sb-v0", indicating that the key management
+ mode is static.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable name>
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: Each secure variable is represented as a directory named as
+ <variable_name>. The variable name is unique and is in ASCII
+ representation. The data and size can be determined by reading
+ their respective attribute files.
+
+ Only secvars relevant to the key management mode are exposed.
+ Only in the dynamic key management mode should the user have
+ access (read and write) to the secure boot secvars db, dbx,
+ grubdb, grubdbx, and sbat. These secvars are not consumed in the
+ static key management mode. PK, trustedcadb and moduledb are the
+ secvars common to both static and dynamic key management modes.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/size
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: An integer representation of the size of the content of the
+ variable. In other words, it represents the size of the data.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/data
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: A read-only file containing the value of the variable. The size
+ of the file represents the maximum size of the variable data.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/update
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: A write-only file that is used to submit the new value for the
+ variable. The size of the file represents the maximum size of
+ the variable data that can be written.
