[PATCH v2 02/15] dt-bindings: ARM SPE: highlight the need for PPI partitions on heterogeneous systems

From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Thu May 23 2019 - 06:38:17 EST


It's not entirely clear for the binding document that the only way to
express ARM SPE affined to a subset of CPUs on a heterogeneous systems
is through the use of PPI partitions available in the interrupt
controller bindings.

Let's make it clear.
