Subject: [PATCH v2 11/16] of: Add binding document for MIPS GIC

The Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) present on certain MIPS systems
can be used to route external interrupts to individual VPEs and CPU
interrupt vectors.  It also supports a timer and software-generated
interrupts.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Bresticker <abrestic@...omium.org>

Changes from v1:
 - moved from mips/ to interrupt-controller/
 - removed interrupts and interrupt-parent properties
 - added available-cpu-vectors property
 - dropped third cell in interrupt specifier

+MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC)
+
+The MIPS GIC routes external interrupts to individual VPEs and IRQ pins.
+It also supports local (per-processor) interrupts and software-generated
+interrupts which can be used as IPIs.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "mti,global-interrupt-controller"
+- reg : Base address and length of the GIC registers.
+- interrupts : Core interrupts to which the GIC may route external interrupts.
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+  interrupt specifier.  Should be 2.
+  - The first cell is the GIC interrupt number.
+  - The second cell encodes the interrupt flags.
+    See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> for a list of valid
+    flags.
+- mti,available-cpu-vectors : Specifies the list of CPU interrupt vectors
+  to which the GIC may route interrupts.  May contain up to 6 entries, one
+  for each of the CPU's hardware interrupt vectors.  Valid values are 2 - 7.
+
+Example:
+
+	gic: interrupt-controller@...c0000 {
+		compatible = "mti,global-interrupt-controller";
+		reg = <0x1bdc0000 0x20000>;
+
+		interrupt-controller;
+		#interrupt-cells = <2>;
+
+		mti,available-cpu-vectors = <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>;
+	};
+
+	uart@...01400 {
+		...
+		interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+		interrupts = <24 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+		...
+	};
