IRQ numbers for standard sources are the byte offset of the relevant IVPR from EIVPR0, divided by 32. + +IRQ Routing: + + The MPIC emulation supports IRQ routing. Only a single MPIC device can + be instantiated. Once that device has been created, it's available as + irqchip id 0. + + This irqchip 0 has 256 interrupt pins, which expose the interrupts in + the main array of interrupt sources (a.k.a. "SRC" interrupts). + + The numbering is the same as the MPIC device tree binding -- based on + the register offset from the beginning of the sources array, without + regard to any subdivisions in chip documentation such as "internal" + or "external" interrupts. + + Default routes are established for these pins, with the GSI being equal + to the pin number. + + Access to non-SRC interrupts is not implemented through IRQ routing mechanisms. |
