* SPEAr Shared IRQ layer (shirq)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SPEAr3xx architecture includes shared/multiplexed irqs for certain set
|
||
|
|
of devices. The multiplexor provides a single interrupt to parent
|
||
|
|
interrupt controller (VIC) on behalf of a group of devices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There can be multiple groups available on SPEAr3xx variants but not
|
||
|
|
exceeding 4. The number of devices in a group can differ, further they
|
||
|
|
may share same set of status/mask registers spanning across different
|
||
|
|
bit masks. Also in some cases the group may not have enable or other
|
||
|
|
registers. This makes software little complex.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A single node in the device tree is used to describe the shared
|
||
|
|
interrupt multiplexor (one node for all groups). A group in the
|
||
|
|
interrupt controller shares config/control registers with other groups.
|
||
|
|
For example, a 32-bit interrupt enable/disable config register can
|
||
|
|
accommodate up to 4 interrupt groups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Required properties:
|
||
|
|
- compatible: should be, either of
|
||
|
|
- "st,spear300-shirq"
|
||
|
|
- "st,spear310-shirq"
|
||
|
|
- "st,spear320-shirq"
|
||
|
|
- interrupt-controller: Identifies the node as an interrupt controller.
|
||
|
|
- #interrupt-cells: should be <1> which basically contains the offset
|
||
|
|
(starting from 0) of interrupts for all the groups.
|
||
|
|
- reg: Base address and size of shirq registers.
|
||
|
|
- interrupts: The list of interrupts generated by the groups which are
|
||
|
|
then connected to a parent interrupt controller. Each group is
|
||
|
|
associated with one of the interrupts, hence number of interrupts (to
|
||
|
|
parent) is equal to number of groups. The format of the interrupt
|
||
|
|
specifier depends in the interrupt parent controller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optional properties:
|
||
|
|
- interrupt-parent: pHandle of the parent interrupt controller, if not
|
||
|
|
inherited from the parent node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following is an example from the SPEAr320 SoC dtsi file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
shirq: interrupt-controller@0xb3000000 {
|
||
|
|
compatible = "st,spear320-shirq";
|
||
|
|
reg = <0xb3000000 0x1000>;
|
||
|
|
interrupts = <28 29 30 1>;
|
||
|
|
#interrupt-cells = <1>;
|
||
|
|
interrupt-controller;
|
||
|
|
};
