+description: |
+ The Arm Message Handling Unit (MHU) Version 2 is a mailbox controller that has
+ between 1 and 124 channel windows (each 32-bit wide) to provide unidirectional
+ communication with remote processor(s), where the number of channel windows
+ are implementation dependent.
+
+ Given the unidirectional nature of the controller, an MHUv2 mailbox may only
+ be written to or read from. If a pair of MHU controllers is implemented
+ between two processing elements to provide bidirectional communication, these
+ must be specified as two separate mailboxes.
+
+ If the interrupts property is present in device tree node, then its treated as
+ a "receiver" mailbox, otherwise a "sender".
+
+ An MHU controller must be specified along with the supported transport
+ protocols. The transport protocols determine the method of data transmission
+ as well as the number of provided mailbox channels.
+
+ Following are the possible transport protocols.
+
+ - Data-transfer: Each transfer is made of one or more words, using one or more
+ channel windows.
+
+ - Doorbell: Each transfer is made up of single bit flag, using any one of the
+ bits in a channel window. A channel window can support up to 32 doorbells
+ and the entire window shall be used in doorbell protocol. Optionally, data
+ may be transmitted through a shared memory region, wherein the MHU is used
+ strictly as an interrupt generation mechanism but that is out of the scope
+ of these bindings.

+ description: |
+ The MHUv2 controller may contain up to 124 channel windows (each 32-bit
+ wide). The hardware and the DT bindings allows any combination of those to
+ be used for various transport protocols.
+
+ This property allows a platform to describe how these channel windows are
+ used in various transport protocols. The entries in this property shall be
+ present as an array of tuples, where each tuple describes details about
+ one of the transport protocol being implemented over some channel
+ window(s).
+
+ The first field of a tuple signifies the transfer protocol, 0 is reserved
+ for doorbell protocol, and 1 is reserved for data-transfer protocol.
+ Using any other value in the first field of a tuple makes it invalid.
+
+ The second field of a tuple signifies the number of channel windows where
+ the protocol would be used and should be set to a non zero value. For
+ doorbell protocol this field signifies the number of 32-bit channel
+ windows that implement the doorbell protocol. For data-transfer protocol,
+ this field signifies the number of 32-bit channel windows that implement
+ the data-transfer protocol.
+
+ The total number of channel windows specified here shouldn't be more than
+ the ones implemented by the platform, though one can specify lesser number
+ of windows here than what the platform implements.

+ }
+
+ The above example defines the protocols of an ARM MHUv2 mailbox
+ controller, where a total of 15 channel windows are used. The first two
+ windows are used in doorbell protocol (64 doorbells), followed by 1, 5 and
+ 7 windows (separately) used in data-transfer protocol.

+ It is always set to 2. The first argument in the consumers 'mboxes'
