| 1 | * Open PIC Binding |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This binding specifies what properties must be available in the device tree |
| 4 | representation of an Open PIC compliant interrupt controller. This binding is |
| 5 | based on the binding defined for Open PIC in [1] and is a superset of that |
| 6 | binding. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Required properties: |
| 9 | |
| 10 | NOTE: Many of these descriptions were paraphrased here from [1] to aid |
| 11 | readability. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - compatible: Specifies the compatibility list for the PIC. The type |
| 14 | shall be <string> and the value shall include "open-pic". |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - reg: Specifies the base physical address(s) and size(s) of this |
| 17 | PIC's addressable register space. The type shall be <prop-encoded-array>. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - interrupt-controller: The presence of this property identifies the node |
| 20 | as an Open PIC. No property value shall be defined. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - #interrupt-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an |
| 23 | interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 2. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - #address-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an |
| 26 | address. The type shall be <u32> and the value shall be 0. As such, |
| 27 | 'interrupt-map' nodes do not have to specify a parent unit address. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Optional properties: |
| 30 | |
| 31 | - pic-no-reset: The presence of this property indicates that the PIC |
| 32 | shall not be reset during runtime initialization. No property value shall |
| 33 | be defined. The presence of this property also mandates that any |
| 34 | initialization related to interrupt sources shall be limited to sources |
| 35 | explicitly referenced in the device tree. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * Interrupt Specifier Definition |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Interrupt specifiers consists of 2 cells encoded as |
| 40 | follows: |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - <1st-cell>: The interrupt-number that identifies the interrupt source. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | - <2nd-cell>: The level-sense information, encoded as follows: |
| 45 | 0 = low-to-high edge triggered |
| 46 | 1 = active low level-sensitive |
| 47 | 2 = active high level-sensitive |
| 48 | 3 = high-to-low edge triggered |
| 49 | |
| 50 | * Examples |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Example 1: |
| 53 | |
| 54 | /* |
| 55 | * An Open PIC interrupt controller |
| 56 | */ |
| 57 | mpic: pic@40000 { |
| 58 | // This is an interrupt controller node. |
| 59 | interrupt-controller; |
| 60 | |
| 61 | // No address cells so that 'interrupt-map' nodes which reference |
| 62 | // this Open PIC node do not need a parent address specifier. |
| 63 | #address-cells = <0>; |
| 64 | |
| 65 | // Two cells to encode interrupt sources. |
| 66 | #interrupt-cells = <2>; |
| 67 | |
| 68 | // Offset address of 0x40000 and size of 0x40000. |
| 69 | reg = <0x40000 0x40000>; |
| 70 | |
| 71 | // Compatible with Open PIC. |
| 72 | compatible = "open-pic"; |
| 73 | |
| 74 | // The PIC shall not be reset. |
| 75 | pic-no-reset; |
| 76 | }; |
| 77 | |
| 78 | Example 2: |
| 79 | |
| 80 | /* |
| 81 | * An interrupt generating device that is wired to an Open PIC. |
| 82 | */ |
| 83 | serial0: serial@4500 { |
| 84 | // Interrupt source '42' that is active high level-sensitive. |
| 85 | // Note that there are only two cells as specified in the interrupt |
| 86 | // parent's '#interrupt-cells' property. |
| 87 | interrupts = <42 2>; |
| 88 | |
| 89 | // The interrupt controller that this device is wired to. |
| 90 | interrupt-parent = <&mpic>; |
| 91 | }; |
