* of/irq: create interrupts-extended propertyGrant Likely2013-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The standard interrupts property in device tree can only handle interrupts coming from a single interrupt parent. If a device is wired to multiple interrupt controllers, then it needs to be attached to a node with an interrupt-map property to demux the interrupt specifiers which is confusing. It would be a lot easier if there was a form of the interrupts property that allows for a separate interrupt phandle for each interrupt specifier. This patch does exactly that by creating a new interrupts-extended property which reuses the phandle+arguments pattern used by GPIOs and other core bindings.

* dt: Document general interrupt controller bindingsThierry Reding2012-10-01
In order to use a device as interrupt controller, it needs to be marked with the DT interrupt-controller property. This commit adds rudimentary documentation about the required standard properties and describes the most commonly used interrupt specifiers.
