+Texas Instruments K3 Interrupt Router
+=====================================
+
+The Interrupt Router (INTR) module provides a mechanism to mux M
+interrupt inputs to N interrupt outputs, where all M inputs are selectable
+to be driven per N output. There is one register per output (MUXCNTL_N) that
+controls the selection.

+Configuration of these MUXCNTL_N registers is done by a system controller
+(like the Device Memory and Security Controller on K3 AM654 SoC). System
+controller will keep track of the used and unused registers within the Router.
+Driver should request the system controller to get the range of GIC IRQs
+assigned to the requesting hosts. It is the drivers responsibility to keep
+track of Host IRQs.
+
+Communication between the host processor running an OS and the system
+controller happens through a protocol called TI System Control Interface
+(TISCI protocol). For more details refer:
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/keystone/ti,sci.txt
+
+TISCI Interrupt Router Node:
+----------------------------
+- compatible:		Must be "ti,sci-intr".
+- interrupt-controller:	Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells:	Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+			interrupt source. The value should be 3.
+			First cell should contain the TISCI device ID of source
+			Second cell should contain the interrupt source offset
+			within the device
+			Third cell specifies the trigger type as defined
+			in interrupts.txt in this directory. Only level
+			sensitive trigger types are supported.
+- interrupt-parent:	phandle of irq parent for TISCI intr.

This is implied and could be in a parent node.

okay, will drop it in next version.


+- ti,sci:		Phandle to TI-SCI compatible System controller node.
+- ti,sci-dst-id:	TISCI device ID of the destination IRQ controller.
+- ti,sci-rm-range-girq:	TISCI subtype id representing the host irqs assigned
+			to this interrupt router.

These need a better explanation and there's still some questions on v1
asked of me that I tried to answer.

Before I jump into the details, I would like to provide a brief on TISCI resource management:

- Host_id: Typically it is the representation of the host processing entities (example: A53 cores running in a VM) as identified by the TISCI.[1]
- Device_id: Each Device in SoC is uniquely identified by TISCI using an ID.
- Each device has Resources like interrupts, DMA channels etc. A simple example would be Interrupt Router and GIC($subject). There are n physical GIC interrupts connected to Interrupt Router. Such resources are are uniquely identified by TISCI using a type ID.[2]

For the sake of simplicity lets consider an Interrupt Router(IR) to which GIC line 32-63 are connected. Considering Isolation for each VM in picture, TISCI allows for a certain range within [32-63] to be assigned to a specific Host_ID. This is mainly to provide the ability for OSs running in virtual machines to be able to independently communicate with the firmware without the need going through a hypervisor.

- Now for Linux to know the GIC irq range that can be used by this Interrupt router, IR driver should send a message to system-controller using TISCI protocol with the resource type as parameter. - For configuring the IRQ,(i.e. attaching an input to IR to a GIC irq), IR driver should send a message to system-controller using TISCI protocol with gic-device-id and an irq from the provided range as parameters.

For covering the above two scenarios, ti,sci-dst-id and ti,sci-rm-range-girq is introduced in DT.

+
+Example:
+--------
+The following example demonstrates both interrupt router node and the consumer
+node(main gpio) on the AM654 SoC:
+
+main_intr: interrupt-controller@1 {
+	compatible = "ti,sci-intr";
+	interrupt-controller;
+	interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+	#interrupt-cells = <3>;
+	ti,sci = <&dmsc>;
+	ti,sci-dst-id = <56>;
+	ti,sci-rm-range-girq = <0x1>;
+};
+
+main_gpio0:  main_gpio0@600000 {

gpio@...

Sure, will fix it in next version.

Thanks and regards,
Lokesh
