This is really wrong. The upmode decision, which is required for calling
apic_bsp_setup() should not happen here, really. As I told you in the
previous patch, use the return code and then you can make further decisions
in apic_intr_mode_init().

Really thanks for your detail explaining, I learned more than i read
from books about the programming skill.


And you do it there w/o any ifdeffery:

static void apic_intr_mode_init(void)
{
        bool upmode = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_UP_LATE_INIT);

        switch (....) {
        case XXXX:
                upmode = true;
                ....
        }
        apic_bsp_setup(upmode);
}

This looks more beautiful than mine.  I will use it in the next version.

Thanks,

        dou.


Thanks,
