Merge branch 'mailbox-for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/fujitsu/integration

Pull mailbox framework from Jassi Brar:
 "A framework for Mailbox controllers and clients have been cooking for
  more than a year now.

  Everybody in the CC list had been copied on patchset revisions and
  most of them have made sounds of approval, though just one concrete
  Reviewed-by.  The patchset has also been in linux-next for a couple of
  weeks now and no conflict has been reported.  The framework has the
  backing of at least 5 platforms, though I can't say if/when they
  upstream their drivers (some businesses have 'changed')"

(Further acked-by by Arnd Bergmann and Suman Anna in the pull request
thread)

* 'mailbox-for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/fujitsu/integration:
  dt: mailbox: add generic bindings
  doc: add documentation for mailbox framework
  mailbox: Introduce framework for mailbox
  mailbox: rename pl320-ipc specific mailbox.h
parents 21d2271f 9f3e3cac
* Generic Mailbox Controller and client driver bindings
Generic binding to provide a way for Mailbox controller drivers to
assign appropriate mailbox channel to client drivers.
* Mailbox Controller
Required property:
- #mbox-cells: Must be at least 1. Number of cells in a mailbox
specifier.
Example:
mailbox: mailbox {
...
#mbox-cells = <1>;
};
* Mailbox Client
Required property:
- mboxes: List of phandle and mailbox channel specifiers.
Optional property:
- mbox-names: List of identifier strings for each mailbox channel
required by the client. The use of this property
is discouraged in favor of using index in list of
'mboxes' while requesting a mailbox. Instead the
platforms may define channel indices, in DT headers,
to something legible.
Example:
pwr_cntrl: power {
...
mbox-names = "pwr-ctrl", "rpc";
mboxes = <&mailbox 0
&mailbox 1>;
};
The Common Mailbox Framework
Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@linaro.org>
This document aims to help developers write client and controller
drivers for the API. But before we start, let us note that the
client (especially) and controller drivers are likely going to be
very platform specific because the remote firmware is likely to be
proprietary and implement non-standard protocol. So even if two
platforms employ, say, PL320 controller, the client drivers can't
be shared across them. Even the PL320 driver might need to accommodate
some platform specific quirks. So the API is meant mainly to avoid
similar copies of code written for each platform. Having said that,
nothing prevents the remote f/w to also be Linux based and use the
same api there. However none of that helps us locally because we only
ever deal at client's protocol level.
Some of the choices made during implementation are the result of this
peculiarity of this "common" framework.
Part 1 - Controller Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_controller.h)
Allocate mbox_controller and the array of mbox_chan.
Populate mbox_chan_ops, except peek_data() all are mandatory.
The controller driver might know a message has been consumed
by the remote by getting an IRQ or polling some hardware flag
or it can never know (the client knows by way of the protocol).
The method in order of preference is IRQ -> Poll -> None, which
the controller driver should set via 'txdone_irq' or 'txdone_poll'
or neither.
Part 2 - Client Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_client.h)
The client might want to operate in blocking mode (synchronously
send a message through before returning) or non-blocking/async mode (submit
a message and a callback function to the API and return immediately).

struct mbox_client cl;

* this to poll status of last TX. The controller must
* give priority to IRQ method over polling and never
* set both txdone_poll and txdone_irq. Only in polling
* mode 'send_data' is expected to return -EBUSY.
