Change the documentation to reflect the new bindings used for Marvell
ICU. This involves describing each interrupt group as a subnode of the
ICU node. Each of them having their own compatible.

The DT binding documentation still documents the legacy binding, where
there was a single node with no subnode.

I raised this before and still don't understand. You had 4 types before 
and now you only have 2 types? How do you handle SR and REI with the new 
binding?

Indeed there are 4 types: NSR, SR, SEI, REI.

Until now only NSR were supported.

I'm adding SEI support.

In the future, people might want to add support for SR/REI as well but
they have never been supported in mainline. When support for these
interrupts will have been contributed, I suppose it will easy to add
two other compatibles with the same formatting "marvell,cp110-icu-xxx"?

I hope the changes in the driver will make such contribution almost
trivial.

Thanks,
Miquèl

All 4 were supported by the binding and now only 2 though.

Perhaps, but I have know way to tell.

You can add bindings without adding driver.

In fact, no, the old binding was not working for anything but NSR. It
pretended to support SEI, REI and SR, but because these had never been
implemented, the binding was not sufficient to over them.

To support SEI or REI, we need to point to a different msi-parent than
the one used for NSR, which wasn't possible with the previous binding.

So there is no regression of functionality by this binding change,
quite the contrary, as it really allows to add SEI support, which was
not possible before. You can consider that the previous binding was
buggy and dysfunctional.

As I replied to a different e-mail, the current binding pretended to
support SR, SEI and REI, but it definitely could not.

The ICU collects wired interrupts from the CP, and forwards them to the
AP as MSIs. And contrary to what we thought when designing the current
binding, the target of the MSIs is different depending on the type of
interrupt. NSRs go to the GICP controller in the AP, SEIs go to a
special SEI controller in the AP, REIs go to a special REI controller
in the AP.

In order to represent that in the Device Tree, you need to have a
different msi-parent property for each of NSR, SEI and REI. This is not
something that the current broken binding allows to express, and it's
the reason why we're migrating to this new binding.

So even if the current binding documents that it supports NSR, SEI, REI
and SR, it definitely cannot support anything but NSR. Therefore, the
introduction of the new binding by Miquèl does not introduce any
regression in functionality: it simply allows to really support SEIs.

Does this explanation clarify the situation, and what we're trying to
achieve ?

Thanks!

Thomas
