BCM2835 Top-Level ("ARMCTRL") Interrupt Controller
The BCM2835 contains a custom top-level interrupt controller, which supports
72 interrupt sources using a 2-level register scheme. The interrupt
controller, or the HW block containing it, is referred to occasionally
as "armctrl" in the SoC documentation, hence naming of this binding.
The BCM2836 contains the same interrupt controller with the same
interrupts, but the per-CPU interrupt controller is the root, and an
interrupt there indicates that the ARMCTRL has an interrupt to handle.
Required properties:
- compatible : should be "brcm,bcm2835-armctrl-ic" or
"brcm,bcm2836-armctrl-ic"
- reg : Specifies base physical address and size of the registers.
- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
interrupt source. The value shall be 2.
The 1st cell is the interrupt bank; 0 for interrupts in the "IRQ basic
pending" register, or 1/2 respectively for interrupts in the "IRQ pending
1/2" register.
The 2nd cell contains the interrupt number within the bank. Valid values
are 0..7 for bank 0, and 0..31 for bank 1.
Additional required properties for brcm,bcm2836-armctrl-ic:
- interrupts : Specifies the interrupt on the parent for this interrupt
controller to handle.
