+Broadcom BCM7038-style Level 1 interrupt controller
+
+This block is a first level interrupt controller that is typically connected
+directly to one of the HW INT lines on each CPU. Every BCM7xxx set-top chip
+since BCM7038 has contained this hardware.
+
+Key elements of the hardware design include:
+
+- 64, 96, 128, or 160 incoming level IRQ lines
+
+- Most onchip peripherals are wired directly to an L1 input
+
+- A separate instance of the register set for each CPU, allowing individual
+ peripheral IRQs to be routed to any CPU
+
+- Atomic mask/unmask operations
+
+- No polarity/level/edge settings
+
+- No FIFO or priority encoder logic; software is expected to read all
+ 2-5 status words to determine which IRQs are pending
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: should be "brcm,bcm7038-l1-intc"
+- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of the registers;
+ the number of supported IRQs is inferred from the size argument
+- interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells: specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt
+ source, should be 1.
+- interrupts: specifies the interrupt line(s) in the interrupt-parent controller
+ node; valid values depend on the type of parent interrupt controller
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- brcm,irq-can-wake: If present, this means the L1 controller can be used as a
+ wakeup source for system suspend/resume.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- brcm,int-fwd-mask: if present, a bit mask to indicate which interrupts
+ have already been configured by the firmware and should be left unmanaged.
+ This should have one 32-bit word per status/set/clear/mask group.
+
+If multiple reg ranges and interrupt-parent entries are present on an SMP
+system, the driver will allow IRQ SMP affinity to be set up through the
+/proc/irq/ interface. In the simplest possible configuration, only one
+reg range and one interrupt-parent is needed.
+
+Example:
+
+periph_intc: periph_intc@1041a400 {
+ compatible = "brcm,bcm7038-l1-intc";
+ reg = <0x1041a400 0x30 0x1041a600 0x30>;
+
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+
+ interrupt-parent = <&cpu_intc>;
+ interrupts = <2>, <3>;
+};
