Thanks James/Rob/Borislav for pointing out the email list issue. My work email does not work good either for this exercise. Going forward I'll switch to my gmail account.

And Thanks Rob for reviewing! Please see below.

Would dmc-interrupt-config as the property name work? Thanks!


+                         above interrupt line, add one interrupt mask element to
+                         it. That is, there is a 1:1 mapping from each interrupt
+                         line to an interrupt mask. An interrupt mask can represent
+                         multiple interrupts being enabled. Refer to interrupt_control
+                         register in DMC-520 TRM for interrupt mapping. In the example
+                         below, the interrupt configuration enables dram_ecc_errc_int
+                         and dram_ecc_errd_int. And each interrupt is connected to
+                         a separate interrupt line.

I've gone and read thru the TRM some. This binding doesn't seem to
correspond to the TRM at all. There are a bunch of interrupts and a
combined interrupt, and then there's the same set for 'overflow'
interrupts.

There's only one 'interrupt_control' reg. How do you have more that 1
32-bit value?

There is only one 'interrupt_control' register, for multiple interrupt sources. Then depending on platform hardware design, these interrupt sources can be wired to different physical interrupt lines.

That is, it is possible to mux interrupt sources into interrupt lines for dmc520 in different ways. For example, in this particular brcm implementation,

Line 841: source dram_ecc_errc_int
Line 843: source dram_ecc_errd_int
Line 839: source dram_ecc_errc_int and dram_ecc_errd_int

There are two possibilities for implementing ecc counts for ce/ue. And we chose to use the single source line: as below, two interrupt lines 0x349 and 0x34B, with interrupt masks 0x4 and 0x8 respectively.

Also, it's possible to implement using the combined-source line too: that would be one interrupt line 0x347, with interrupt mask 0xC.

This dt binding can support both by modifying the properties, without having to modify driver code.
