Describe the SEI (System Error Interrupt) controller driver. The
controller is part of the GIC. It aggregates two types of interrupts,
wired and MSIs from respectively the AP and the CPs, into a single SPI
interrupt.

Using interrupt numbers in reg is strange.

Can't the parent be both an interrupt-controller and msi-controller?

I thought the reg property was the one to choose here, I can of course
change it, what would you suggest?

We need to know which one aggregates interrupts, which one receives
MSIs and most importantly which interrupt is what (within the 64
that are handled by the SEI).

I thought it would describe the hardware pretty well, do you think to
another solution?

You mean that 0-20 are wired and 21-63 are msi? "marvell,msi-base =
<21>;" in the parent would be sufficient for that though you may want
something more flexible to have multiple ranges.

It looks like there may already be similar bindings. See
'msi-available-ranges" and "{al,arm},msi-base-spi".

Hello Miquèl,

Title should rather be: "add DT binding documentation for the Marvell
SEI controller" or something like that. Talking about "node" is a bit
weird here.

As soon as you say "driver" in a DT binding documentation, you're on
the wrong track. A binding documentation never describes a driver, but
a piece of hardware.

> The controller is part of the GIC.

I don't think we should state that, especially since it's not part of
the GIC shipped by ARM as far as I know, and we represent it as a
separate Device Tree nodes.

Rather than primary, I would use "parent" here.

"IRQ chip" is a Linux concept, I would stick to "This interrupt
controller can handle up ..."

What is the "given type" ?

As Rob asked, I'm not sure we need subnodes here. Did you check if it
is was doable to have a single node which is both an
interrupt-controller and a msi-controller ?

And indeed, as Rob said, using reg to encode interrupt ranges doesn't
look good.

Best regards,

I would prefer to describe how the hardware is split in two
sub-controllers. And to answer the question: no, the parent cannot be
both and interrupt-controller and an msi-controller.

Absolutely, I would like something more flexible.

If you are ok, I will use a new property named 'marvell,sei-ranges'
instead of the reg property which is indeed more explicit.

+Marvell SEI (System Error Interrupt) Controller
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Marvell SEI (System Error Interrupt) controller is an interrupt aggregator.
+It receives interrupts from several sources and aggregates them to a single
+interrupt line (an SPI) on the primary interrupt controller.
+
+The IRQ chip can handle up to 64 SEIs, a set comes from the AP and is
+wired while a second set comes from the CPs by the mean of MSIs. Each
+'domain' is represented as a subnode.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: should be "marvell,armada-8k-sei".
+- reg: SEI registers location and length.
+- interrupts: identifies the parent IRQ that will be triggered.
+- #address-cells: should be '1', represents the position of the first
+                  IRQ of a given type in the SEI range.
+- #size-cells: should be '1', represents the number of a given type of
+               IRQs.
+
+Child node 'sei-wired-controller' required properties:
+
+- reg: the range of wired interrupts.
+- #interrupt-cells: number of cells to define an SEI wired interrupt
+                    coming from the AP, should be 1. The cell is the IRQ
+                    number.
+- interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller.
+
+Child node 'sei-msi-controller' required properties:
+
+- reg: the range of non-wired interrupts triggered by way of MSIs.
+- msi-controller: identifies the node as an MSI controller.
+
+Example:
+
+        sei: sei@3f0200 {
+               compatible = "marvell,armada-8k-sei";
+               reg = <0x3f0200 0x40>;
+               interrupts = <GIC_SPI 0 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+               #address-cells = <1>;
+               #size-cells = <1>;
+
+               sei_wired_controller: sei-wired-controller@0 {
+                       reg = <0 21>;
+                       #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+                       interrupt-controller;
+               };
+
+               sei_msi_controller: sei-msi-controller@21 {
+                       reg = <21 43>;
+                       msi-controller;
+               };
+       };
