[PATCH v4] irqchip/gic-v3: Add Altera SoCFPGA Agilex5 GIC600 DMA32 erratum workaround

From: Adrian Ng Ho Yin

Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 05:34:15 EST


Agilex5 integrates GIC600 with an ACE-lite interface limited to a 32-bit
address bus, so the ITS can only access the first 4 GB of physical address
space. Add ALTERA_ERRATUM_AGILEX5 and register intel,socfpga-agilex5 on the
existing dma_32bit_impaired_platforms list.

This limitation is documented as Agilex 5 ES Device Errata 2.1.23 (825514).

Changes in v4:
- Rebase onto dma_32bit_impaired_platforms shared quirk (post Renesas)
- Add ALTERA_ERRATUM_AGILEX5 Kconfig and silicon-errata entry
- Cite Agilex 5 ES Device Errata 2.1.23

Changes in v3:
- Extend existing Rockchip dma32 quirk path for Agilex5

Changes in v2:
- Drop DT binding quirk; use IIDR + of_machine_is_compatible()
