    perf/arm-dmc620: Use irq_set_affinity() · 1ceeb8d4
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The driver uses irq_set_affinity_hint() to set the affinity for the PMU
    interrupts, which relies on the undocumented side effect that this function
    actually sets the affinity under the hood.
    
    Setting an hint is clearly not a guarantee and for these PMU interrupts an
    affinity hint, which is supposed to guide userspace for setting affinity,
    is beyond pointless, because the affinity of these interrupts cannot be
    modified from user space.
    
    Aside of that the error checks are bogus because the only error which is
    returned from irq_set_affinity_hint() is when there is no irq descriptor
    for the interrupt number, but not when the affinity set fails. That's on
    purpose because the hint can point to an offline CPU.
    
    Replace the mindless abuse with irq_set_affinity().
