[RFC v11 2/4] dt-bindings: soc: microchip: document PolarFire SoC's gpio interrupt mux
From: Conor Dooley
Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 09:54:34 EST
From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
On PolarFire SoC there are more GPIO interrupts than there are interrupt
lines available on the PLIC, and a runtime configurable mux is used to
decide which interrupts are assigned direct connections to the PLIC &
which are relegated to sharing a line.

+title: Microchip Polarfire SoC GPIO Interrupt Mux

+description: |
+ There are 3 GPIO controllers on this SoC, of which:
+ - GPIO controller 0 has 14 GPIOs
+ - GPIO controller 1 has 24 GPIOs
+ - GPIO controller 2 has 32 GPIOs
+
+ All GPIOs are capable of generating interrupts, for a total of 70.
+ There are only 41 IRQs available however, so a configurable mux is used to
+ ensure all GPIOs can be used for interrupt generation.
+ 38 of the 41 interrupts are in what the documentation calls "direct mode",
+ as they provide an exclusive connection from a GPIO to the PLIC.
+ The 3 remaining interrupts are used to mux the interrupts which do not have
+ a exclusive connection, one for each GPIO controller.

+ Specifies the mapping from GPIO interrupt lines to plic interrupts.
+
+ The child interrupt number set in arrays items is computed using the
+ following formula:
+ gpio_bank * 32 + gpio_number
+ with:
+ - gpio_bank: The GPIO bank number
+ - 0 for GPIO0,
+ - 1 for GPIO1,
+ - 2 for GPIO2
+ - gpio_number: Number of the gpio in the bank (0..31)
+ maxItems: 70
