Tom Rini53633a82024-02-29 12:33:36 -05001Hisilicon Hi6220 Mailbox Driver
2===============================
3
4Hisilicon Hi6220 mailbox supports up to 32 channels. Each channel
5is unidirectional with a maximum message size of 8 words. I/O is
6performed using register access (there is no DMA) and the cell
7raises an interrupt when messages are received.

9Mailbox Device Node:
10====================
11
12Required properties:
13--------------------
14- compatible: Shall be "hisilicon,hi6220-mbox"
15- reg: Contains the mailbox register address range (base
16 address and length); the first item is for IPC
17 registers, the second item is shared buffer for
18 slots.
19- #mbox-cells: Common mailbox binding property to identify the number
20 of cells required for the mailbox specifier. Must be 3.
21 <&phandle slot_id dst_irq ack_irq>
22 phandle: Label name of mailbox controller
23 slot_id: Slot id used either for TX or RX
24 dst_irq: IRQ identifier index number which used by MCU
25 ack_irq: IRQ identifier index number with generating a
26 TX/RX interrupt to application processor,
27 mailbox driver uses it to acknowledge interrupt
28- interrupts: Contains the interrupt information for the mailbox
29 device. The format is dependent on which interrupt
30 controller the SoCs use.
31
32Optional Properties:
33--------------------
34- hi6220,mbox-tx-noirq: Property of MCU firmware's feature, so mailbox driver
35 use this flag to ask MCU to enable "automatic idle
36 flag" mode or IRQ generated mode to acknowledge a TX
37 completion.
38
39Example:
40--------
41
42 mailbox: mailbox@f7510000 {
43 compatible = "hisilicon,hi6220-mbox";
44 reg = <0x0 0xf7510000 0x0 0x1000>, /* IPC_S */
45 <0x0 0x06dff800 0x0 0x0800>; /* Mailbox */
46 interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
47 interrupts = <GIC_SPI 94 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
48 #mbox-cells = <3>;
49 };

52Mailbox client
53===============
54
55Required properties:
56--------------------
57- compatible: Many (See the client docs).
58- mboxes: Standard property to specify a Mailbox (See ./mailbox.txt)
59 Cells must match 'mbox-cells' (See Mailbox Device Node above).
60
61Optional Properties:
62--------------------
63- mbox-names: Name given to channels seen in the 'mboxes' property.
64
65Example:
66--------
67
68 stub_clock: stub_clock {
69 compatible = "hisilicon,hi6220-stub-clk";
70 hisilicon,hi6220-clk-sram = <&sram>;
71 #clock-cells = <1>;
72 mbox-names = "mbox-tx", "mbox-rx";
73 mboxes = <&mailbox 1 0 11>, <&mailbox 0 1 10>;
74 };
