[PATCH v5 01/27] dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Add Arm GICv5

Lorenzo Pieralisi
2025-06-18T11:00:48Z

The GICv5 interrupt controller architecture is composed of:

- one or more Interrupt Routing Service (IRS)
- zero or more Interrupt Translation Service (ITS)
- zero or more Interrupt Wire Bridge (IWB)

Describe a GICv5 implementation by specifying a top level node
corresponding to the GICv5 system component.

IRS nodes are added as GICv5 system component children.

An ITS is associated with an IRS so ITS nodes are described
as IRS children - use the hierarchy explicitly in the device
tree to define the association.

IWB nodes are described as a separate schema.

An IWB is connected to a single ITS, the connection is made explicit
through the msi-parent property and therefore is not required to be
explicit through a parent-child relationship in the device tree.
