Broadcom BCM7120-style Level 2 interrupt controller

This interrupt controller hardware is a second level interrupt controller that
is hooked to a parent interrupt controller: e.g: ARM GIC for ARM-based
platforms. It can be found on BCM7xxx products starting with BCM7120.

Such an interrupt controller has the following hardware design:

- outputs multiple interrupts signals towards its interrupt controller parent

- controls how some of the interrupts will be flowing, whether they will
  directly output an interrupt signal towards the interrupt controller parent,
  or if they will output an interrupt signal at this 2nd level interrupt
  controller, in particular for UARTs

- typically has one 32-bit enable word and one 32-bit status word, but on
  some hardware may have more than one enable/status pair

- no atomic set/clear operations

- not all bits within the interrupt controller actually map to an interrupt

The typical hardware layout for this controller is represented below:

2nd level interrupt line		Outputs for the parent controller (e.g: ARM GIC)

0 -----[ MUX ] ------------|==========> GIC interrupt 75
          \-----------\
                       |

          \------------|
                       |

Required properties:

- compatible: should be "brcm,bcm7120-l2-intc"
- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of the registers;
  multiple pairs may be specified, with the first pair handling IRQ offsets
  0..31 and the second pair handling 32..63
- interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller
- #interrupt-cells: specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt
  source, should be 1.
- interrupt-parent: specifies the phandle to the parent interrupt controller
  this one is cascaded from
- interrupts: specifies the interrupt line(s) in the interrupt-parent controller
  node, valid values depend on the type of parent interrupt controller
- brcm,int-map-mask: 32-bits bit mask describing how many and which interrupts
  are wired to this 2nd level interrupt controller, and how they match their
  respective interrupt parents. Should match exactly the number of interrupts
  specified in the 'interrupts' property, multiplied by the number of
  enable/status register pairs implemented by this controller.  For
  multiple parent IRQs with multiple enable/status words, this looks like:
  <irq0_w0 irq0_w1 irq1_w0 irq1_w1 ...>

Optional properties:

- brcm,irq-can-wake: if present, this means the L2 controller can be used as a
  wakeup source for system suspend/resume.

- brcm,int-fwd-mask: if present, a bit mask to configure the interrupts which
  have a mux gate, typically UARTs. Setting these bits will make their
  respective interrupt outputs bypass this 2nd level interrupt controller
  completely; it is completely transparent for the interrupt controller
  parent. This should have one 32-bit word per enable/status pair.

Example:

irq0_intc: interrupt-controller@f0406800 {
	compatible = "brcm,bcm7120-l2-intc";
	interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
	#interrupt-cells = <1>;
	reg = <0xf0406800 0x8>;
	interrupt-controller;
	interrupts = <0x0 0x42 0x0>, <0x0 0x40 0x0>;
	brcm,int-map-mask = <0xeb8>, <0x140>;
	brcm,int-fwd-mask = <0x7>;
};
