| 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. The GIC also includes a free-running | |
| global timer, per-CPU count/compare timers, and a watchdog. | |
| Required properties: | |
| - compatible : Should be "mti,gic". | |
| - 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 type of interrupt, local or shared. | |
| See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/mips-gic.h>. | |
| - The second cell is the GIC interrupt number. | |
| - The third cell encodes the interrupt flags. | |
| See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> for a list of valid | |
| flags. | |
| Optional properties: | |
| - reg : Base address and length of the GIC registers. If not present, | |
| the base address reported by the hardware GCR_GIC_BASE will be used. | |
| - mti,reserved-cpu-vectors : Specifies the list of CPU interrupt vectors | |
| to which the GIC may not route interrupts. Valid values are 2 - 7. | |
| This property is ignored if the CPU is started in EIC mode. | |
| - mti,reserved-ipi-vectors : Specifies the range of GIC interrupts that are | |
| reserved for IPIs. | |
| It accepts 2 values, the 1st is the starting interrupt and the 2nd is the size | |
| of the reserved range. | |
| If not specified, the driver will allocate the last 2 * number of VPEs in the | |
| system. | |
| Required properties for timer sub-node: | |
| - compatible : Should be "mti,gic-timer". | |
| - interrupts : Interrupt for the GIC local timer. | |
| Optional properties for timer sub-node: | |
| - clocks : GIC timer operating clock. | |
| - clock-frequency : Clock frequency at which the GIC timers operate. | |
| Note that one of clocks or clock-frequency must be specified. | |
| Example: | |
| gic: interrupt-controller@1bdc0000 { | |
| compatible = "mti,gic"; | |
| reg = <0x1bdc0000 0x20000>; | |
| interrupt-controller; | |
| #interrupt-cells = <3>; | |
| mti,reserved-cpu-vectors = <7>; | |
| mti,reserved-ipi-vectors = <40 8>; | |
| timer { | |
| compatible = "mti,gic-timer"; | |
| interrupts = <GIC_LOCAL 1 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>; | |
| clock-frequency = <50000000>; | |
| }; | |
| }; | |
| uart@18101400 { | |
| ... | |
| interrupt-parent = <&gic>; | |
| interrupts = <GIC_SHARED 24 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; | |
| ... | |
