* ARC-HS Interrupt Distribution Unit

  This optional 2nd level interrupt controller can be used in SMP configurations for
  dynamic IRQ routing, load balancing of common/external IRQs towards core intc.

Properties:

- compatible: "snps,archs-idu-intc"
- interrupt-controller: This is an interrupt controller.
- interrupt-parent: <reference to parent core intc>
- #interrupt-cells: Must be <2>.
- interrupts: <...> specifies the upstream core irqs

  First cell specifies the "common" IRQ from peripheral to IDU
  Second cell specifies the irq distribution mode to cores
     0=Round Robin; 1=cpu0, 2=cpu1, 4=cpu2, 8=cpu3

  The second cell in interrupts property is deprecated and may be ignored by
  the kernel.

  intc accessed via the special ARC AUX register interface, hence "reg" property
  is not specified.

Example:
	core_intc: core-interrupt-controller {
		compatible = "snps,archs-intc";
		interrupt-controller;
		#interrupt-cells = <1>;
	};

	idu_intc: idu-interrupt-controller {
		compatible = "snps,archs-idu-intc";
		interrupt-controller;
		interrupt-parent = <&core_intc>;

		/*
		 * <hwirq  distribution>
		 * distribution: 0=RR; 1=cpu0, 2=cpu1, 4=cpu2, 8=cpu3
		 */
		#interrupt-cells = <2>;

		/* upstream core irqs: downstream these are "COMMON" irq 0,1..  */
		interrupts = <24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31>;
	};

	some_device: serial@c0fc1000 {
		interrupt-parent = <&idu_intc>;
		interrupts = <0 0>;	/* upstream idu IRQ #24, Round Robin */
	};
