My concern with moving interrupt processing to the core is that not all transports report attn to the rmi core using an irq. The HID and SMBus transports which are currently in development, reside a little higher in the stack and attention is reported using different mechanisms. We moved interrupt handling to the transport drivers so that they could handle the differences in how attn is reported.
This message has some of the previous discussion regarding interrupt processing: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/28/123
Similarly, not all transports will need support for regulators. Implementing both in the transport drivers avoids the EPROBE_DEFER racing and avoids adding checks in the core to see if it needs to handle interrupts and manage regulators.
Thanks, Andrew
