1* Freescale MSI interrupt controller
2
3Required properties:
4- compatible : compatible list, may contain one or two entries
5  The first is "fsl,CHIP-msi", where CHIP is the processor(mpc8610, mpc8572,
6  etc.) and the second is "fsl,mpic-msi" or "fsl,ipic-msi" or
7  "fsl,mpic-msi-v4.3" depending on the parent type and version. If mpic
8  version is 4.3, the number of MSI registers is increased to 16, MSIIR1 is
9  provided to access these 16 registers, and compatible "fsl,mpic-msi-v4.3"
10  should be used. The first entry is optional; the second entry is
11  required.
12
13- reg : It may contain one or two regions. The first region should contain
14  the address and the length of the shared message interrupt register set.
15  The second region should contain the address of aliased MSIIR or MSIIR1
16  register for platforms that have such an alias, if using MSIIR1, the second
17  region must be added because different MSI group has different MSIIR1 offset.
18
19- interrupts : each one of the interrupts here is one entry per 32 MSIs,
20  and routed to the host interrupt controller. the interrupts should
21  be set as edge sensitive.  If msi-available-ranges is present, only
22  the interrupts that correspond to available ranges shall be present.
23
24- interrupt-parent: the phandle for the interrupt controller
25  that services interrupts for this device. for 83xx cpu, the interrupts
26  are routed to IPIC, and for 85xx/86xx cpu the interrupts are routed
27  to MPIC.
28
29Optional properties:
30- msi-available-ranges: use <start count> style section to define which
31  msi interrupt can be used in the 256 msi interrupts. This property is
32  optional, without this, all the MSI interrupts can be used.
33  Each available range must begin and end on a multiple of 32 (i.e.
34  no splitting an individual MSI register or the associated PIC interrupt).
35  MPIC v4.3 does not support this property because the 32 interrupts of an
36  individual register are not continuous when using MSIIR1.
37
38- msi-address-64: 64-bit PCI address of the MSIIR register. The MSIIR register
39  is used for MSI messaging.  The address of MSIIR in PCI address space is
40  the MSI message address.
41
42  This property may be used in virtualized environments where the hypervisor
43  has created an alternate mapping for the MSIR block.  See below for an
44  explanation.

47Example:
48	msi@41600 {
49		compatible = "fsl,mpc8610-msi", "fsl,mpic-msi";
50		reg = <0x41600 0x80>;
51		msi-available-ranges = <0 0x100>;
52		interrupts = <
53			0xe0 0
54			0xe1 0
55			0xe2 0
56			0xe3 0
57			0xe4 0
58			0xe5 0
59			0xe6 0
60			0xe7 0>;
61		interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
62	};
63
64	msi@41600 {
65		compatible = "fsl,mpic-msi-v4.3";
66		reg = <0x41600 0x200 0x44148 4>;
67		interrupts = <
68			0xe0 0 0 0
69			0xe1 0 0 0

86The Freescale hypervisor and msi-address-64
87-------------------------------------------
88Normally, PCI devices have access to all of CCSR via an ATMU mapping.  The
89Freescale MSI driver calculates the address of MSIIR (in the MSI register
90block) and sets that address as the MSI message address.
91
92In a virtualized environment, the hypervisor may need to create an IOMMU
93mapping for MSIIR.  The Freescale ePAPR hypervisor has this requirement
94because of hardware limitations of the Peripheral Access Management Unit
95(PAMU), which is currently the only IOMMU that the hypervisor supports.
96The ATMU is programmed with the guest physical address, and the PAMU
97intercepts transactions and reroutes them to the true physical address.
98
99In the PAMU, each PCI controller is given only one primary window.  The
100PAMU restricts DMA operations so that they can only occur within a window.
101Because PCI devices must be able to DMA to memory, the primary window must
102be used to cover all of the guest's memory space.
103
104PAMU primary windows can be divided into 256 subwindows, and each
105subwindow can have its own address mapping ("guest physical" to "true
106physical").  However, each subwindow has to have the same alignment, which
107means they cannot be located at just any address.  Because of these
108restrictions, it is usually impossible to create a 4KB subwindow that
109covers MSIIR where it's normally located.
110
111Therefore, the hypervisor has to create a subwindow inside the same
112primary window used for memory, but mapped to the MSIR block (where MSIIR
113lives).  The first subwindow after the end of guest memory is used for
114this.  The address specified in the msi-address-64 property is the PCI
115address of MSIIR.  The hypervisor configures the PAMU to map that address to
116the true physical address of MSIIR.
