Broadcom BCM7038-style Level 1 interrupt controller

This block is a first level interrupt controller that is typically connected
directly to one of the HW INT lines on each CPU. Every BCM7xxx set-top chip
since BCM7038 has contained this hardware.

Key elements of the hardware design include:

  • 64, 96, 128, or 160 incoming level IRQ lines

  • Most onchip peripherals are wired directly to an L1 input

  • A separate instance of the register set for each CPU, allowing individual
    peripheral IRQs to be routed to any CPU

  • Atomic mask/unmask operations

  • No polarity/level/edge settings

  • No FIFO or priority encoder logic; software is expected to read all
    2-5 status words to determine which IRQs are pending

Required properties:

  • compatible: should be “brcm,bcm7038-l1-intc”
  • reg: specifies the base physical address and size of the registers;
    the number of supported IRQs is inferred from the size argument
  • interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller
  • #interrupt-cells: specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt
    source, should be 1.
  • interrupt-parent: specifies the phandle to the parent interrupt controller(s)
    this one is cascaded from
  • interrupts: specifies the interrupt line(s) in the interrupt-parent controller
    node; valid values depend on the type of parent interrupt controller

If multiple reg ranges and interrupt-parent entries are present on an SMP
system, the driver will allow IRQ SMP affinity to be set up through the
/proc/irq/ interface. In the simplest possible configuration, only one
reg range and one interrupt-parent is needed.

Example:

periph_intc: periph_intc@1041a400 {
compatible = “brcm,bcm7038-l1-intc”;
reg = <0x1041a400 0x30 0x1041a600 0x30>;

    interrupt-controller;
    #interrupt-cells = <1>;

    interrupt-parent = <&cpu_intc>;
    interrupts = <2>, <3>;
