+Texas Instruments K3 Interrupt Router
+=====================================
+
+The Interrupt Router (INTR) module provides a mechanism to mux M
+interrupt inputs to N interrupt outputs, where all M inputs are selectable
+to be driven per N output. There is one register per output (MUXCNTL_N) that
+controls the selection.
+
+
+ Interrupt Router
+ +----------------------+
+ | Inputs Outputs |
+ +-------+ | +------+ |
+ | GPIO |----------->| | irq0 | | Host IRQ
+ +-------+ | +------+ | controller
+ | . +-----+ | +-------+
+ +-------+ | . | 0 | |----->| IRQ |
+ | INTA |----------->| . +-----+ | +-------+
+ +-------+ | . . |
+ | +------+ . |
+ | | irqM | +-----+ |
+ | +------+ | N | |
+ | +-----+ |
+ +----------------------+
+
+Configuration of these MUXCNTL_N registers is done by a system controller
+(like the Device Memory and Security Controller on K3 AM654 SoC). System
+controller will keep track of the used and unused registers within the Router.
+Driver should request the system controller to get the range of GIC IRQs
+assigned to the requesting hosts. It is the drivers responsibility to keep
+track of Host IRQs.
+
+Communication between the host processor running an OS and the system
+controller happens through a protocol called TI System Control Interface
+(TISCI protocol). For more details refer:
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/keystone/ti,sci.txt
+
+TISCI Interrupt Router Node:
+----------------------------
+- compatible: Must be "ti,sci-intr".
+- interrupt-controller: Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+ interrupt source. The value should be 3.
+ First cell should contain the TISCI device ID of source
+ Second cell should contain the interrupt source offset
+ within the device
+ Third cell specifies the trigger type as defined
+ in interrupts.txt in this directory. Only level
+ sensitive trigger types are supported.
+- interrupt-parent: phandle of irq parent for TISCI intr.
This is implied and could be in a parent node.
okay, will drop it in next version.
+- ti,sci: Phandle to TI-SCI compatible System controller node.
+- ti,sci-dst-id: TISCI device ID of the destination IRQ controller.
+- ti,sci-rm-range-girq: TISCI subtype id representing the host irqs assigned
+ to this interrupt router.
These need a better explanation and there's still some questions on v1
asked of me that I tried to answer.
Before I jump into the details, I would like to provide a brief on TISCI
resource management:
- Host_id: Typically it is the representation of the host processing entities
(example: A53 cores running in a VM) as identified by the TISCI.[1]
- Device_id: Each Device in SoC is uniquely identified by TISCI using an ID.
- Each device has Resources like interrupts, DMA channels etc. A simple example
would be Interrupt Router and GIC($subject). There are n physical GIC interrupts
connected to Interrupt Router. Such resources are are uniquely identified by
TISCI using a type ID.[2]
For the sake of simplicity lets consider an Interrupt Router(IR) to which GIC
line 32-63 are connected. Considering Isolation for each VM in picture, TISCI
allows for a certain range within [32-63] to be assigned to a specific Host_ID.
This is mainly to provide the ability for OSs running in virtual machines to be
able to independently communicate with the firmware without the need going
through a hypervisor.
- Now for Linux to know the GIC irq range that can be used by this Interrupt
router, IR driver should send a message to system-controller using TISCI
protocol with the resource type as parameter.
- For configuring the IRQ,(i.e. attaching an input to IR to a GIC irq), IR
driver should send a message to system-controller using TISCI protocol with
gic-device-id and an irq from the provided range as parameters.
For covering the above two scenarios, ti,sci-dst-id and ti,sci-rm-range-girq is
introduced in DT.

+Example:
+--------
+The following example demonstrates both interrupt router node and the consumer
+node(main gpio) on the AM654 SoC:
+
+main_intr: interrupt-controller@1 {
+ compatible = "ti,sci-intr";
+ interrupt-controller;
+ interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+ #interrupt-cells = <3>;
+ ti,sci = <&dmsc>;
+ ti,sci-dst-id = <56>;
+ ti,sci-rm-range-girq = <0x1>;
+};
+
+main_gpio0: main_gpio0@600000 {
gpio@...
Sure, will fix it in next version.
Thanks and regards,
Lokesh
