1Broadcom BCM7120-style Level 2 interrupt controller
2
3This interrupt controller hardware is a second level interrupt controller that
4is hooked to a parent interrupt controller: e.g: ARM GIC for ARM-based
5platforms. It can be found on BCM7xxx products starting with BCM7120.
6
7Such an interrupt controller has the following hardware design:
8
9- outputs multiple interrupts signals towards its interrupt controller parent
10
11- controls how some of the interrupts will be flowing, whether they will
12 directly output an interrupt signal towards the interrupt controller parent,
13 or if they will output an interrupt signal at this 2nd level interrupt
14 controller, in particular for UARTs
15
16- not all 32-bits within the interrupt controller actually map to an interrupt
17
18The typical hardware layout for this controller is represented below:

48Required properties:
49
50- compatible: should be "brcm,bcm7120-l2-intc"
51- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of the registers
52- interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller
53- #interrupt-cells: specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt
54 source, should be 1.
55- interrupt-parent: specifies the phandle to the parent interrupt controller
56 this one is cascaded from
57- interrupts: specifies the interrupt line(s) in the interrupt-parent controller
58 node, valid values depend on the type of parent interrupt controller
59- brcm,int-map-mask: 32-bits bit mask describing how many and which interrupts
60 are wired to this 2nd level interrupt controller, and how they match their
61 respective interrupt parents. Should match exactly the number of interrupts
62 specified in the 'interrupts' property.
63
64Optional properties:
65
66- brcm,irq-can-wake: if present, this means the L2 controller can be used as a
67 wakeup source for system suspend/resume.
68
69- brcm,int-fwd-mask: if present, a 32-bits bit mask to configure for the
70 interrupts which have a mux gate, typically UARTs. Setting these bits will
71 make their respective interrupts outputs bypass this 2nd level interrupt
72 controller completely, it completely transparent for the interrupt controller
73 parent
74
75Example:
76
77irq0_intc: interrupt-controller@f0406800 {
78 compatible = "brcm,bcm7120-l2-intc";
79 interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
80 #interrupt-cells = <1>;
81 reg = <0xf0406800 0x8>;
82 interrupt-controller;
83 interrupts = <0x0 0x42 0x0>, <0x0 0x40 0x0>;
84 brcm,int-map-mask = <0xeb8>, <0x140>;
85 brcm,int-fwd-mask = <0x7>;
86};
