[PATCH 03/12] of: Add binding document for MIPS GIC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




The Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) present on certain MIPS systems
can be used to route external interrupts to individual VPEs and CPU
interrupt vectors.  It also supports a timer and software-generated
interrupts.

+MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC)
+
+The MIPS GIC routes external interrupts to individual VPEs and IRQ pins.
+It also supports a timer and software-generated interrupts which can be
+used as IPIs.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "mti,global-interrupt-controller"
+- reg : Base address and length of the GIC registers.
+- interrupts : Core interrupts to which the GIC may route external interrupts.
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+  interrupt specifier.  Should be 3.
+  - The first cell is the GIC interrupt number.
+  - The second cell encodes the interrupt flags.
+    See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> for a list of valid
+    flags.
+  - The optional third cell indicates which CPU interrupt vector the GIC
+    interrupt should be routed to.  It is a 0-based index into the list of
+    GIC-to-CPU interrupts specified in the "interrupts" property described
+    above.  For example, a '2' in this cell will route the interrupt to the
+    3rd core interrupt listed in 'interrupts'.  If omitted, the interrupt will
+    be routed to the 1st core interrupt.
+
+Example:
+
+	cpu_intc: interrupt-controller@0 {
+		compatible = "mti,cpu-interrupt-controller";
+
+		interrupt-controller;
+		#interrupt-cells = <1>;
+	};
+
+	gic: interrupt-controller@1bdc0000 {
+		compatible = "mti,global-interrupt-controller";
+		reg = <0x1bdc0000 0x20000>;
+
+		interrupt-controller;
+		#interrupt-cells = <3>;
+
+		interrupt-parent = <&cpu_intc>;
+		interrupts = <3>, <4>;
+	};
+
+	uart@18101400 {
+		...
+		interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+		interrupts = <24 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH 0>;
+		...
+	};
