    X86 platform: New BayTrail IOSF-SB MBI driver · 997ab407
    David E. Box authored
    Current Intel SOC cores use a MailBox Interface (MBI) to provide access to unit
    devices connected to the system fabric. This driver implements access to this
    interface on BayTrail platforms. This is a requirement for drivers that need
    access to unit registers on the platform (e.g. accessing the PUNIT for power
    management features such as RAPL). Serialized access is handled by all exported
    routines with spinlocks.
    
    The API includes 3 functions for access to unit registers:
    
    int bt_mbi_read(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 *mdr)
    int bt_mbi_write(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 mdr)
    int bt_mbi_modify(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 mdr, u32 mask)
    
    port:	indicating the unit being accessed
    opcode:	the read or write port specific opcode
    offset:	the register offset within the port
    mdr:	the register data to be read, written, or modified
    mask:	bit locations in mdr to change
    
    Returns nonzero on error
    
    Note: GPU code handles access to the GFX unit. Therefore access to that unit
    with this driver is disallowed to avoid conflicts.
