2012-05-11ARM: DT: Add binding for GIC virtualization extentions (VGIC)Marc Zyngier
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.

2011-11-15ARM: gic: allow GIC to support non-banked setupsMarc Zyngier
The GIC support code is heavily using the fact that hardware implementations are exposing banked registers. Unfortunately, it looks like at least one GIC implementation (EXYNOS) offers both the distributor and the CPU interfaces at different addresses, depending on the CPU. This problem is solved by allowing the distributor and CPU interface addresses to be per-cpu variables for the platforms that require it. The EXYNOS code is updated not to mess with the GIC internals while handling interrupts, and struct gic_chip_data is back to being private. The DT binding for the gic is updated to allow an optional "cpu-offset" value, which is used to compute the various base addresses. Finally, a new config option (GIC_NON_BANKED) is used to control this feature, so the overhead is only present on kernels compiled with support for EXYNOS. Tested on Origen (EXYNOS4) and Panda (OMAP4).

2011-10-31ARM: gic: add OF based initializationRob Herring
This adds ARM gic interrupt controller initialization using device tree data. The initialization function is intended to be called by of_irq_init function like this: const static struct of_device_id irq_match[] = { { .compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic", .data = gic_of_init, }, {} }; static void __init init_irqs(void) { of_irq_init(irq_match); } Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Reviewed-by: Jamie Iles <jamie@jamieiles.com> Tested-by: Thomas Abraham <thomas.abraham@linaro.org> Acked-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
