    powerpc: Document the Open PIC device tree binding · a99eff39
    Meador Inge authored
    This binding documents several properties that have been in use for quite
    some time, and adds one new property 'pic-no-reset', which controls the
    runtime initialization behavior of the PIC.  More specifically, the presence
    of 'pic-no-reset' mandates that the PIC shall not be reset during runtime
    initialization and that any initialization related to interrupt sources
    shall be limited to sources explicitly referenced in the device tree.  This
    functionality is useful in AMP systems where multiple OSes are sharing the
    PIC and the reinitialization of the PIC can interfere with OSes that are
    already up and running.
    
    The interrupt specifier definition is based off of Stuart Yoder's FSL MPIC
    binding.
