[PATCH v2 11/16] 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.

Changes from v1:
 - moved from mips/ to interrupt-controller/
 - removed interrupts and interrupt-parent properties
 - added available-cpu-vectors property
 - dropped third cell in interrupt specifier

+MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC)
+
+The MIPS GIC routes external interrupts to individual VPEs and IRQ pins.
+It also supports local (per-processor) interrupts 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 2.
+  - 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.
+- mti,available-cpu-vectors : Specifies the list of CPU interrupt vectors
+  to which the GIC may route interrupts.  May contain up to 6 entries, one
+  for each of the CPU's hardware interrupt vectors.  Valid values are 2 - 7.
+
+Example:
+
+	gic: interrupt-controller@1bdc0000 {
+		compatible = "mti,global-interrupt-controller";
+		reg = <0x1bdc0000 0x20000>;
+
+		interrupt-controller;
+		#interrupt-cells = <2>;
+
+		mti,available-cpu-vectors = <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>;
+	};
+
+	uart@18101400 {
+		...
+		interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+		interrupts = <24 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+		...
+	};
