    Interrupt Request Line

    My hardware team says the board/device is mapped to IRQ Line 4.
    I have a doubt of following...

    In request_irq() call, can I hard code the IRQ line straight away ???

    Or it is strictly recommended to read IRQ line from PCI configuration space for that device to register the ISR.

    Better use pci configuration space.

    some day ur HW team may change the IRQ line.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Not to mention that a lot of devices have configurable IRQs, perhaps jumper settable.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
