1	* Samsung Exynos Interrupt Combiner Controller
2	
3	Samsung's Exynos4 architecture includes a interrupt combiner controller which
4	can combine interrupt sources as a group and provide a single interrupt request
5	for the group. The interrupt request from each group are connected to a parent
6	interrupt controller, such as GIC in case of Exynos4210.
7	
8	The interrupt combiner controller consists of multiple combiners. Up to eight
9	interrupt sources can be connected to a combiner. The combiner outputs one
10	combined interrupt for its eight interrupt sources. The combined interrupt
11	is usually connected to a parent interrupt controller.
12	
13	A single node in the device tree is used to describe the interrupt combiner
14	controller module (which includes multiple combiners). A combiner in the
15	interrupt controller module shares config/control registers with other
16	combiners. For example, a 32-bit interrupt enable/disable config register
17	can accommodate up to 4 interrupt combiners (with each combiner supporting
18	up to 8 interrupt sources).
19	
20	Required properties:
21	- compatible: should be "samsung,exynos4210-combiner".
22	- interrupt-controller: Identifies the node as an interrupt controller.
23	- #interrupt-cells: should be <2>. The meaning of the cells are
24		* First Cell: Combiner Group Number.
25		* Second Cell: Interrupt number within the group.
26	- reg: Base address and size of interrupt combiner registers.
27	- interrupts: The list of interrupts generated by the combiners which are then
28	    connected to a parent interrupt controller. The format of the interrupt
29	    specifier depends in the interrupt parent controller.
30	
31	Optional properties:
32	- samsung,combiner-nr: The number of interrupt combiners supported. If this
33	  property is not specified, the default number of combiners is assumed
34	  to be 16.
35	- interrupt-parent: pHandle of the parent interrupt controller, if not
36	  inherited from the parent node.
37	
38	
39	Example:
40	
41		The following is a an example from the Exynos4210 SoC dtsi file.
42	
43		combiner:interrupt-controller@10440000 {
44			compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-combiner";
45			interrupt-controller;
46			#interrupt-cells = <2>;
47			reg = <0x10440000 0x1000>;
48			interrupts = <0 0 0>, <0 1 0>, <0 2 0>, <0 3 0>,
49				     <0 4 0>, <0 5 0>, <0 6 0>, <0 7 0>,
50				     <0 8 0>, <0 9 0>, <0 10 0>, <0 11 0>,
51				     <0 12 0>, <0 13 0>, <0 14 0>, <0 15 0>;
52		};
