ARM: DT: Add binding for GIC virtualization extentions (VGIC)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The GICv2 can have virtualization extension support, consisting
of an additional set of registers and interrupts. Add the necessary
binding to the GIC DT documentation.

* GIC virtualization extensions (VGIC)

For ARM cores that support the virtualization extensions, additional
properties must be described (they only exist if the GIC is the
primary interrupt controller).

Required properties:

- reg : Additional regions specifying the base physical address and
size of the VGIC registers. The first additional region is the GIC
virtual interface control register base and size. The 2nd additional
region is the GIC virtual cpu interface register base and size.

- interrupts : VGIC maintainance interrupt.

Example:

interrupt-controller@2c001000 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
#interrupt-cells = <3>;
interrupt-controller;
reg = <0x2c001000 0x1000>,
<0x2c002000 0x1000>,
<0x2c004000 0x2000>,
<0x2c006000 0x2000>;
interrupts = <1 9 0xf04>;
};
