+* ARM Generic Interrupt Controller
+
+ARM SMP cores are often associated with a GIC, providing per processor
+interrupts (PPI), shared processor interrupts (SPI) and software
+generated interrupts (SGI).
+
+Primary GIC is attached directly to the CPU and typically has PPIs and SGIs.
+Secondary GICs are cascaded into the upward interrupt controller and do not
+have PPIs or SGIs.
+
+Main node required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be one of:
+	"arm,cortex-a9-gic"
+	"arm,arm11mp-gic"
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+  interrupt source.  The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 3.
+
+  The 1st cell is the interrupt type; 0 for SPI interrupts, 1 for PPI
+  interrupts.
+
+  The 2nd cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type.
+  SPI interrupts are in the range [0-987].  PPI interrupts are in the
+  range [0-15].
+
+  The 3rd cell is the flags, encoded as follows:
+	bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags.
+		1 = low-to-high edge triggered
+		2 = high-to-low edge triggered
+		4 = active high level-sensitive
+		8 = active low level-sensitive
+	bits[15:8] PPI interrupt cpu mask.  Each bit corresponds to each of
+	the 8 possible cpus attached to the GIC.  A bit set to '1' indicated
+	the interrupt is wired to that CPU.  Only valid for PPI interrupts.
+
+- reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the GIC registers. The
+  first region is the GIC distributor register base and size. The 2nd region is
+  the GIC cpu interface register base and size.
+
+Optional
+- interrupts	: Interrupt source of the parent interrupt controller. Only
+  present on secondary GICs.
+
+Example:
+
+	intc: interrupt-controller@fff11000 {
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
+		#interrupt-cells = <3>;
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		interrupt-controller;
+		reg = <0xfff11000 0x1000>,
+		      <0xfff10100 0x100>;
+	};
