- ARM MHU Mailbox Driver
- ======================
- The ARM's Message-Handling-Unit (MHU) is a mailbox controller that has
- 3 independent channels/links to communicate with remote processor(s).
- MHU links are hardwired on a platform. A link raises interrupt for any
- received data. However, there is no specified way of knowing if the sent
- data has been read by the remote. This driver assumes the sender polls
- STAT register and the remote clears it after having read the data.
- The last channel is specified to be a 'Secure' resource, hence can't be
- used by Linux running NS.
- Mailbox Device Node:
- ====================
- Required properties:
- --------------------
- - compatible: Shall be "arm,mhu" & "arm,primecell"
- - reg: Contains the mailbox register address range (base
- address and length)
- - #mbox-cells Shall be 1 - the index of the channel needed.
- - interrupts: Contains the interrupt information corresponding to
- each of the 3 links of MHU.
- Example:
- --------
- mhu: mailbox@2b1f0000 {
- #mbox-cells = <1>;
- compatible = "arm,mhu", "arm,primecell";
- reg = <0 0x2b1f0000 0x1000>;
- interrupts = <0 36 4>, /* LP-NonSecure */
- <0 35 4>, /* HP-NonSecure */
- <0 37 4>; /* Secure */
- clocks = <&clock 0 2 1>;
- clock-names = "apb_pclk";
- };
- mhu_client: scb@2e000000 {
- compatible = "fujitsu,mb86s70-scb-1.0";
- reg = <0 0x2e000000 0x4000>;
- mboxes = <&mhu 1>; /* HP-NonSecure */
- };
