This is a new per-cpu root interrupt controller on the Raspberry Pi 2,
which will chain to the bcm2835 interrupt controller for peripheral
interrupts.

+BCM2836 per-CPU interrupt controller
+
+The BCM2836 has a per-cpu interrupt controller for the timer, PMU
+events, and SMP IPIs.  One of the CPUs may receive interrupts for the
+peripheral (GPU) events, which chain to the BCM2835-style interrupt
+controller.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible:	 	Should be "brcm,bcm2836-l1-intc"
+- reg:			Specifies base physical address and size of the
+			  registers
+- interrupt-controller:	Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells:	Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+			  interrupt source. The value shall be 1
+
+Please refer to interrupts.txt in this directory for details of the common
+Interrupt Controllers bindings used by client devices.
+
+The interrupt sources are as follows:
+
+0: CNTPSIRQ
+1: CNTPNSIRQ
+2: CNTHPIRQ
+3: CNTVIRQ
+8: GPU_FAST
+9: PMU_FAST
+
+Example:
+
+local_intc: local_intc {
+	compatible = "brcm,bcm2836-l1-intc";
+	reg = <0x40000000 0x100>;
+	interrupt-controller;
+	#interrupt-cells = <1>;
+	interrupt-parent = <&local_intc>;
+};
