SubjectRe: [PATCH v5 05/10] dt-bindings: irqchip: Introduce TISCI Interrupt router bindings
Hi,

Is this always one-to-one mapping or can the same interrupt be routed to
multiple targets like to the SoC and some coprocessor?

Care to describe a bit why the interrupts need to be routed by a system
controller?

Regards,

Tony
