1MIPS CPU interrupt controller
2
3On MIPS the mips_cpu_intc_init() helper can be used to initialize the 8 CPU
4IRQs from a devicetree file and create a irq_domain for IRQ controller.
5
6With the irq_domain in place we can describe how the 8 IRQs are wired to the
7platforms internal interrupt controller cascade.
8
9Below is an example of a platform describing the cascade inside the devicetree
10and the code used to load it inside arch_init_irq().
11
12Required properties:
13- compatible : Should be "mti,cpu-interrupt-controller"
14
15Example devicetree:
16 cpu-irq: cpu-irq@0 {
17 #address-cells = <0>;
18
19 interrupt-controller;
20 #interrupt-cells = <1>;
21
22 compatible = "mti,cpu-interrupt-controller";
23 };
24
25 intc: intc@200 {
26 compatible = "ralink,rt2880-intc";
27 reg = <0x200 0x100>;
28
29 interrupt-controller;
30 #interrupt-cells = <1>;
31
32 interrupt-parent = <&cpu-irq>;
33 interrupts = <2>;
34 };
35
36
37Example platform irq.c:
38static struct of_device_id __initdata of_irq_ids[] = {
39 { .compatible = "mti,cpu-interrupt-controller", .data = mips_cpu_intc_init },
40 { .compatible = "ralink,rt2880-intc", .data = intc_of_init },
41 {},
42};
43
44void __init arch_init_irq(void)
45{
46 of_irq_init(of_irq_ids);
47}
