+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. The GIC also includes a free-running
+global timer, per-CPU count/compare timers, and a watchdog.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "mti,gic".
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+ interrupt specifier. Should be 3.
+ - The first cell is the type of interrupt, local or shared.
+ See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/mips-gic.h>.
+ - The second cell is the GIC interrupt number.
+ - The third cell encodes the interrupt flags.
+ See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> for a list of valid
+ flags.
+
+Optional properties:
+- reg : Base address and length of the GIC registers. If not present,
+ the base address reported by the hardware GCR_GIC_BASE will be used.
+- mti,reserved-cpu-vectors : Specifies the list of CPU interrupt vectors
+ to which the GIC may not route interrupts. Valid values are 2 - 7.
+ This property is ignored if the CPU is started in EIC mode.
+
+Required properties for timer sub-node:
+- compatible : Should be "mti,gic-timer".
+- interrupts : Interrupt for the GIC local timer.
+
+Optional properties for timer sub-node:
+- clocks : GIC timer operating clock.
+- clock-frequency : Clock frequency at which the GIC timers operate.
+
+Note that one of clocks or clock-frequency must be specified.
+
+Example:
+
+ gic: interrupt-controller@1bdc0000 {
+ compatible = "mti,gic";
+ reg = <0x1bdc0000 0x20000>;
+
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <3>;
+
+ mti,reserved-cpu-vectors = <7>;
+
+ timer {
+ compatible = "mti,gic-timer";
+ interrupts = <GIC_LOCAL 1 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>;
+ clock-frequency = <50000000>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ uart@18101400 {
+ ...
+ interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SHARED 24 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ ...
+ };
