Texas Instruments K3 Interrupt Aggregator
=========================================

The Interrupt Aggregator (INTA) provides a centralized machine
which handles the termination of system events to that they can
be coherently processed by the host(s) in the system. A maximum
of 64 events can be mapped to a single interrupt.

Configuration of these Intmap registers that maps global events to vint is done
by a system controller (like the Device Memory and Security Controller on K3
AM654 SoC). Driver should request the system controller to get the range
of global events and vints assigned to the requesting host. Management
of these requested resources should be handled by driver and requests
system controller to map specific global event to vint, bit pair.

Communication between the host processor running an OS and the system
controller happens through a protocol called TI System Control Interface
(TISCI protocol). For more details refer:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/keystone/ti,sci.txt

TISCI Interrupt Aggregator Node:
-------------------------------
- compatible:		Must be "ti,sci-inta".
- reg:			Should contain registers location and length.
- interrupt-controller:	Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
- msi-controller:	Identifies the node as an MSI controller.
- interrupt-parent:	phandle of irq parent.
- ti,sci:		Phandle to TI-SCI compatible System controller node.
- ti,sci-dev-id:	TISCI device ID of the Interrupt Aggregator.
- ti,sci-rm-range-vint:	Array of TISCI subtype ids representing vints(inta
			outputs) range within this INTA, assigned to the
			requesting host context.
- ti,sci-rm-range-global-event:	Array of TISCI subtype ids representing the
			global events range reaching this IA and are assigned
			to the requesting host context.

Example:
--------
main_udmass_inta: interrupt-controller@33d00000 {
	compatible = "ti,sci-inta";
	reg = <0x0 0x33d00000 0x0 0x100000>;
	interrupt-controller;
	msi-controller;
	interrupt-parent = <&main_navss_intr>;
	ti,sci = <&dmsc>;
	ti,sci-dev-id = <179>;
	ti,sci-rm-range-vint = <0x0>;
	ti,sci-rm-range-global-event = <0x1>;
};
