1Broadcom BCM6345-style Level 1 interrupt controller
2
3This block is a first level interrupt controller that is typically connected
4directly to one of the HW INT lines on each CPU.
5
6Key elements of the hardware design include:
7
8- 32, 64 or 128 incoming level IRQ lines
9
10- Most onchip peripherals are wired directly to an L1 input
11
12- A separate instance of the register set for each CPU, allowing individual
13  peripheral IRQs to be routed to any CPU
14
15- Contains one or more enable/status word pairs per CPU
16
17- No atomic set/clear operations
18
19- No polarity/level/edge settings
20
21- No FIFO or priority encoder logic; software is expected to read all
22  2-4 status words to determine which IRQs are pending
23
24Required properties:
25
26- compatible: should be "brcm,bcm<soc>-l1-intc", "brcm,bcm6345-l1-intc"
27- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of the registers;
28  the number of supported IRQs is inferred from the size argument
29- interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller
30- #interrupt-cells: specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt
31  source, should be 1.
32- interrupt-parent: specifies the phandle to the parent interrupt controller(s)
33  this one is cascaded from
34- interrupts: specifies the interrupt line(s) in the interrupt-parent controller
35  node; valid values depend on the type of parent interrupt controller
36
37If multiple reg ranges and interrupt-parent entries are present on an SMP
38system, the driver will allow IRQ SMP affinity to be set up through the
39/proc/irq/ interface.  In the simplest possible configuration, only one
40reg range and one interrupt-parent is needed.
41
42The driver operates in native CPU endian by default, there is no support for
43specifying an alternative endianness.

45Example:
46
47periph_intc: interrupt-controller@10000000 {
48        compatible = "brcm,bcm63168-l1-intc", "brcm,bcm6345-l1-intc";
49        reg = <0x10000020 0x20>,
50              <0x10000040 0x20>;
51
52        interrupt-controller;
53        #interrupt-cells = <1>;
54
55        interrupt-parent = <&cpu_intc>;
56        interrupts = <2>, <3>;
57};
