+RISC-V Hart-Level Interrupt Controller (HLIC)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+RISC-V cores include Control Status Registers (CSRs) which are local to each
+hart and can be read or written by software. Some of these CSRs are used to
+control local interrupts connected to the core.
+
+Typical examples of local interrupts on a RISC-V core include: software IPI
+interrupts, timer interrupts, and a link to the PLIC interrupt controller.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "riscv,cpu-intc"
+- #interrupt-cells : should be <1>
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+
+Furthermore, this interrupt-controller MUST be embedded inside the cpu
+definition of the hart whose CSRs control these local interrupts.
+
+Example:
+
+	cpu1: cpu@1 {
+		clock-frequency = <1600000000>;
+		compatible = "riscv";
+		d-cache-block-size = <64>;
+		d-cache-sets = <64>;
+		d-cache-size = <16384>;
+		d-tlb-sets = <1>;
+		d-tlb-size = <32>;
+		device_type = "cpu";
+		i-cache-block-size = <64>;
+		i-cache-sets = <64>;
+		i-cache-size = <16384>;
+		i-tlb-sets = <1>;
+		i-tlb-size = <32>;
+		mmu-type = "riscv,sv39";
+		next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+		reg = <1>;
+		riscv,isa = "rv64imac";
+		status = "okay";
+		tlb-split;
+		cpu1-intc: interrupt-controller {
+			#interrupt-cells = <1>;
+			compatible = "riscv,cpu-intc";
+			interrupt-controller;
+		};
+	};

+RISC-V Platform-Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC)
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+RISC-V cores typically include a PLIC, which route interrupts from multiple
+devices to multiple hart contexts.  The PLIC is connected to the interrupt
+controller embedded in a RISC-V core via the interrupt-related CSRs.
+
+A hart context is a priviledge mode in a hardware execution thread.  For
+example, in an 4 core system with 2-way SMT, you have 8 harts and probably
+at least two priviledge modes per hart; machine mode and supervisor mode.
+
+Each interrupt can be enabled on per-context basis. Any context can claim
+a pending enabled interrupt and then release it once it has been handled.
+
+Each interrupt has a configurable priority. Higher priority interrupts are
+serviced firs. Each context can specify a priority threshold. Interrupts
+with priority below this threshold will not cause the PLIC to raise its
+interrupt line leading to the context.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "riscv,plic0"
+- #address-cells : should be <0>
+- #interrupt-cells : should be <1>
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- reg : Should contain 1 register range (address and length)
+- riscv,ndev : Specifies the number of interrupts attached to the PLIC
+- interrupts-extended : Specifies which contexts are connected to the PLIC
+
+Example:
+
+	plic: interrupt-controller@c000000 {
+		#address-cells = <0>;
+		#interrupt-cells = <1>;
+		compatible = "riscv,plic0";
+		interrupt-controller;
+		interrupts-extended = <
+			&cpu0-intc 11
+			&cpu1-intc 11 &cpu1-intc 9
+			&cpu2-intc 11 &cpu2-intc 9
+			&cpu3-intc 11 &cpu3-intc 9
+			&cpu4-intc 11 &cpu4-intc 9>;
+		reg = <0xc000000 0x4000000>;
+		riscv,ndev = <10>;
+	};
