  1. MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC)
  2. The MIPS GIC routes external interrupts to individual VPEs and IRQ pins.
  3. It also supports local (per-processor) interrupts and software-generated
  4. interrupts which can be used as IPIs. The GIC also includes a free-running
  5. global timer, per-CPU count/compare timers, and a watchdog.
  6. Required properties:
  7. - compatible : Should be "mti,gic".
  8. - interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
  9. - #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
  10. interrupt specifier. Should be 3.
  11. - The first cell is the type of interrupt, local or shared.
  12. See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/mips-gic.h>.
  13. - The second cell is the GIC interrupt number.
  14. - The third cell encodes the interrupt flags.
  15. See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> for a list of valid
  16. flags.
  17. Optional properties:
  18. - reg : Base address and length of the GIC registers. If not present,
  19. the base address reported by the hardware GCR_GIC_BASE will be used.
  20. - mti,reserved-cpu-vectors : Specifies the list of CPU interrupt vectors
  21. to which the GIC may not route interrupts. Valid values are 2 - 7.
  22. This property is ignored if the CPU is started in EIC mode.
  23. Required properties for timer sub-node:
  24. - compatible : Should be "mti,gic-timer".
  25. - interrupts : Interrupt for the GIC local timer.
  26. Optional properties for timer sub-node:
  27. - clocks : GIC timer operating clock.
  28. - clock-frequency : Clock frequency at which the GIC timers operate.
  29. Note that one of clocks or clock-frequency must be specified.
  30. Example:
  31. gic: interrupt-controller@1bdc0000 {
  32. compatible = "mti,gic";
  33. reg = <0x1bdc0000 0x20000>;
  34. interrupt-controller;
  35. #interrupt-cells = <3>;
  36. mti,reserved-cpu-vectors = <7>;
  37. timer {
  38. compatible = "mti,gic-timer";
  39. interrupts = <GIC_LOCAL 1 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>;
  40. clock-frequency = <50000000>;
  41. };
  42. };
  43. uart@18101400 {
  44. ...
  45. interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
  46. interrupts = <GIC_SHARED 24 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
  47. ...
  48. };
