+Hisilicon mbigen device tree bindings.
+=======================================
+
+Mbigen means: message based interrupt generator.
+
+MBI is kind of msi interrupt only used on Non-PCI devices.
+
+To reduce the wired interrupt number connected to GIC,
+Hisilicon designed mbigen to collect and generate interrupt.
+
+
+Non-pci devices can connect to mbigen and generate the
+interrupt by writing ITS register.
+
+The mbigen chip and devices connect to mbigen have the following properties:
+
+Mbigen main node required properties:
+-------------------------------------------
+- compatible: Should be "hisilicon,mbigen-v2"
+
+- reg: Specifies the base physical address and size of the Mbigen
+ registers.
+
+- interrupt controller: Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+
+- msi-parent: Specifies the MSI controller this mbigen use.
+ For more detail information,please refer to the generic msi-parent binding in
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/msi.txt.
+
+- num-msis:Specifies the total number of interrupt this device has.
+
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+ interrupt source. The value must be 2.
+
+ The 1st cell is hardware pin number of the interrupt.This number is local to
+ each mbigen chip and in the range from 0 to the maximum interrupts number
+ of the mbigen.
+
+ The 2nd cell is the interrupt trigger type.
+ The value of this cell should be:
+ 1: rising edge triggered
+ or
+ 4: high level triggered
+
+Examples:
+
+ mbigen_device_gmac:intc {
+ compatible = "hisilicon,mbigen-v2";
+ reg = <0x0 0xc0080000 0x0 0x10000>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ msi-parent = <&its_dsa 0x40b1c>;
+ num-msis = <9>;
+ #interrupt-cells = <2>;
+ };
+
+Devices connect to mbigen required properties:
+----------------------------------------------------
+-interrupt-parent: Specifies the mbigen device node which device connected.
+
+-interrupts:Specifies the interrupt source.
+ For the specific information of each cell in this property,please refer to
+ the "interrupt-cells" description mentioned above.
+
+Examples:
+ gmac0: ethernet at c2080000 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ reg = <0 0xc2080000 0 0x20000>,
+ <0 0xc0000000 0 0x1000>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&mbigen_device_gmac>;
+ interrupts = <656 1>,
+ <657 1>;
+ };
