-OMAP2+ and K3 Mailbox
-=====================
-
-The OMAP mailbox hardware facilitates communication between different processors
-using a queued mailbox interrupt mechanism. The IP block is external to the
-various processor subsystems and is connected on an interconnect bus. The
-communication is achieved through a set of registers for message storage and
-interrupt configuration registers.
-
-Each mailbox IP block/cluster has a certain number of h/w fifo queues and output
-interrupt lines. An output interrupt line is routed to an interrupt controller
-within a processor subsystem, and there can be more than one line going to a
-specific processor's interrupt controller. The interrupt line connections are
-fixed for an instance and are dictated by the IP integration into the SoC
-(excluding the SoCs that have a Interrupt Crossbar IP). Each interrupt line is
-programmable through a set of interrupt configuration registers, and have a rx
-and tx interrupt source per h/w fifo. Communication between different processors
-is achieved through the appropriate programming of the rx and tx interrupt
-sources on the appropriate interrupt lines.
-
-The number of h/w fifo queues and interrupt lines dictate the usable registers.
-All the current OMAP SoCs except for the newest DRA7xx SoC has a single IP
-instance. DRA7xx has multiple instances with different number of h/w fifo queues
-and interrupt lines between different instances. The interrupt lines can also be
-routed to different processor sub-systems on DRA7xx as they are routed through
-the Crossbar, a kind of interrupt router/multiplexer. The K3 AM65x and J721E
-SoCs has each of these instances form a cluster and combine multiple clusters
-into a single IP block present within the Main NavSS. The interrupt lines from
-all these clusters are multiplexed and routed to different processor subsystems
-over a limited number of common interrupt output lines of an Interrupt Router.
-The AM64x SoCS also uses a single IP block comprising of multiple clusters,
-but the number of clusters are smaller, and the interrupt output lines are
-connected directly to various processors.
-
-Mailbox Device Node:
-====================
-A Mailbox device node is used to represent a Mailbox IP instance/cluster within
-a SoC. The sub-mailboxes are represented as child nodes of this parent node.
-
-Required properties:
---------------------
-- compatible: Should be one of the following,
- "ti,omap2-mailbox" for OMAP2420, OMAP2430 SoCs
- "ti,omap3-mailbox" for OMAP3430, OMAP3630 SoCs
- "ti,omap4-mailbox" for OMAP44xx, OMAP54xx, AM33xx,
- AM43xx and DRA7xx SoCs
- "ti,am654-mailbox" for K3 AM65x and J721E SoCs
- "ti,am64-mailbox" for K3 AM64x SoCs
-- reg: Contains the mailbox register address range (base
- address and length)
-- interrupts: Contains the interrupt information for the mailbox
- device. The format is dependent on which interrupt
- controller the Mailbox device uses
-- #mbox-cells: Common mailbox binding property to identify the number
- of cells required for the mailbox specifier. Should be
- 1
-- ti,mbox-num-users: Number of targets (processor devices) that the mailbox
- device can interrupt
-- ti,mbox-num-fifos: Number of h/w fifo queues within the mailbox IP block
-
-SoC-specific Required properties:
----------------------------------
-The following are mandatory properties for the OMAP architecture based SoCs
-only:
-- ti,hwmods: Name of the hwmod associated with the mailbox. This
- should be defined in the mailbox node only if the node
- is not defined as a child node of a corresponding sysc
- interconnect node.
-
-The following are mandatory properties for the K3 AM65x and J721E SoCs only:
-- interrupt-parent: Should contain a phandle to the TI-SCI interrupt
- controller node that is used to dynamically program
- the interrupt routes between the IP and the main GIC
- controllers. See the following binding for additional
- details,
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/ti,sci-intr.yaml
-
-Child Nodes:
-============
-A child node is used for representing the actual sub-mailbox device that is
-used for the communication between the host processor and a remote processor.
-Each child node should have a unique node name across all the different
-mailbox device nodes.
-
-Required properties:
---------------------
-- ti,mbox-tx: sub-mailbox descriptor property defining a Tx fifo
-- ti,mbox-rx: sub-mailbox descriptor property defining a Rx fifo
-
-Sub-mailbox Descriptor Data
----------------------------
-Each of the above ti,mbox-tx and ti,mbox-rx properties should have 3 cells of
-data that represent the following:
- Cell #1 (fifo_id) - mailbox fifo id used either for transmitting
- (ti,mbox-tx) or for receiving (ti,mbox-rx)
- Cell #2 (irq_id) - irq identifier index number to use from the parent's
- interrupts data. Should be 0 for most of the cases, a
- positive index value is seen only on mailboxes that have
- multiple interrupt lines connected to the MPU processor.
- Cell #3 (usr_id) - mailbox user id for identifying the interrupt line
- associated with generating a tx/rx fifo interrupt.
-
-Optional Properties:
---------------------
-- ti,mbox-send-noirq: Quirk flag to allow the client user of this sub-mailbox
- to send messages without triggering a Tx ready interrupt,
- and to control the Tx ticker. Should be used only on
- sub-mailboxes used to communicate with WkupM3 remote
- processor on AM33xx/AM43xx SoCs.
-
-Mailbox Users:
-==============
-A device needing to communicate with a target processor device should specify
-them using the common mailbox binding properties, "mboxes" and the optional
-"mbox-names" (please see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
-for details). Each value of the mboxes property should contain a phandle to the
-mailbox controller device node and an args specifier that will be the phandle to
-the intended sub-mailbox child node to be used for communication. The equivalent
-"mbox-names" property value can be used to give a name to the communication channel
-to be used by the client user.
