The MU also provides the ability +for one processor to signal the other processor using interrupts. + +Because the MU manages the messaging between processors, the MU uses +different clocks (from each side of the different peripheral buses). +Therefore, the MU must synchronize the accesses from one side to the +other. The MU accomplishes synchronization using two sets of matching +registers (Processor A-facing, Processor Bfacing). + +Messaging Unit Device Node: +============================= + +Required properties: +------------------- +- compatible : should be "fsl,<chip>-mu", the supported chips include + imx6sx, imx7d, imx7ulp, imx8qxp, imx8qm, imx8mq. +- reg : Should contain the registers location and length +- interrupts : Interrupt number. The interrupt specifier format depends + on the interrupt controller parent. + +Examples: +-------- +lsio_mu0: mu@5d1b0000 { + compatible = "fsl,imx8qxp-mu", "fsl,imx6sx-mu"; + reg = <0x0 0x5d1b0000 0x0 0x10000>; + interrupts = <GIC_SPI 176 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; + status = "okay"; +}; -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
