-* ARM Generic Interrupt Controller
-
-ARM SMP cores are often associated with a GIC, providing per processor
-interrupts (PPI), shared processor interrupts (SPI) and software
-generated interrupts (SGI).
-
-Primary GIC is attached directly to the CPU and typically has PPIs and SGIs.
-Secondary GICs are cascaded into the upward interrupt controller and do not
-have PPIs or SGIs.
-
-Main node required properties:
-
-- compatible : should be one of:
- "arm,gic-400"
- "arm,cortex-a15-gic"
- "arm,cortex-a9-gic"
- "arm,cortex-a7-gic"
- "arm,arm11mp-gic"
- "brcm,brahma-b15-gic"
- "arm,arm1176jzf-devchip-gic"
- "qcom,msm-8660-qgic"
- "qcom,msm-qgic2"
-- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
-- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
- interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 3.
-
- The 1st cell is the interrupt type; 0 for SPI interrupts, 1 for PPI
- interrupts.
-
- The 2nd cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type.
- SPI interrupts are in the range [0-987]. PPI interrupts are in the
- range [0-15].
-
- The 3rd cell is the flags, encoded as follows:
- bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags.
- 1 = low-to-high edge triggered
- 2 = high-to-low edge triggered (invalid for SPIs)
- 4 = active high level-sensitive
- 8 = active low level-sensitive (invalid for SPIs).
- bits[15:8] PPI interrupt cpu mask. Each bit corresponds to each of
- the 8 possible cpus attached to the GIC. A bit set to '1' indicated
- the interrupt is wired to that CPU. Only valid for PPI interrupts.
- Also note that the configurability of PPI interrupts is IMPLEMENTATION
- DEFINED and as such not guaranteed to be present (most SoC available
- in 2014 seem to ignore the setting of this flag and use the hardware
- default value).
-
-- reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the GIC registers. The
- first region is the GIC distributor register base and size. The 2nd region is
- the GIC cpu interface register base and size.
-
-Optional
-- interrupts : Interrupt source of the parent interrupt controller on
- secondary GICs, or VGIC maintenance interrupt on primary GIC (see
- below).
-
-- cpu-offset : per-cpu offset within the distributor and cpu interface
- regions, used when the GIC doesn't have banked registers. The offset is
- cpu-offset * cpu-nr.
-
-Example:
-
- intc: interrupt-controller@fff11000 {
- compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
- #interrupt-cells = <3>;
- #address-cells = <1>;
- interrupt-controller;
- reg = <0xfff11000 0x1000>,
- <0xfff10100 0x100>;
- };
-
-
-* GIC virtualization extensions (VGIC)
-
-For ARM cores that support the virtualization extensions, additional
-properties must be described (they only exist if the GIC is the
-primary interrupt controller).
-
-Required properties:
-
-- reg : Additional regions specifying the base physical address and
- size of the VGIC registers. The first additional region is the GIC
- virtual interface control register base and size. The 2nd additional
- region is the GIC virtual cpu interface register base and size.
-
-- interrupts : VGIC maintenance interrupt.
-
-Example:
-
- interrupt-controller@2c001000 {
- compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
- #interrupt-cells = <3>;
- interrupt-controller;
- reg = <0x2c001000 0x1000>,
- <0x2c002000 0x1000>,
- <0x2c004000 0x2000>,
- <0x2c006000 0x2000>;
- interrupts = <1 9 0xf04>;
- };
-
-
-* GICv2m extension for MSI/MSI-x support (Optional)
-
-Certain revisions of GIC-400 supports MSI/MSI-x via V2M register frame(s).
-This is enabled by specifying v2m sub-node(s).
-
-Required properties:
-
-- compatible : The value here should contain "arm,gic-v2m-frame".
-
-- msi-controller : Identifies the node as an MSI controller.
-
-- reg : GICv2m MSI interface register base and size
-
-Optional properties:
-
-- arm,msi-base-spi : When the MSI_TYPER register contains an incorrect
- value, this property should contain the SPI base of
- the MSI frame, overriding the HW value.
-
-- arm,msi-num-spis : When the MSI_TYPER register contains an incorrect
- value, this property should contain the number of
- SPIs assigned to the frame, overriding the HW value.
-
-Example:
-
- interrupt-controller@e1101000 {
- compatible = "arm,gic-400";
- #interrupt-cells = <3>;
- #address-cells = <2>;
- #size-cells = <2>;
- interrupt-controller;
- interrupts = <1 8 0xf04>;
- ranges = <0 0 0 0xe1100000 0 0x100000>;
- reg = <0x0 0xe1110000 0 0x01000>,
- <0x0 0xe112f000 0 0x02000>,
- <0x0 0xe1140000 0 0x10000>,
- <0x0 0xe1160000 0 0x10000>;
- v2m0: v2m@0x8000 {
- compatible = "arm,gic-v2m-frame";
- msi-controller;
- reg = <0x0 0x80000 0 0x1000>;
- };
-
- ....
-
- v2mN: v2m@0x9000 {
- compatible = "arm,gic-v2m-frame";
- msi-controller;
- reg = <0x0 0x90000 0 0x1000>;
- };
- };
