I'm fine with as it is currently. We don't have to address all possible

We do need write an irqchip driver later because MU still supports another
four general purpose interrupts which will be used by SCU firmware.
But I don't think it's necessary to abstract them for TX/RX interrutps.
This makes thing simple.

AFAIK NXP MU library is used for all known platforms with MUs.
So I guess yes.

> Will it fit good for one channel implementation?

If you see the SCU MU patches I sent, you will see I also need
convert the channel index to channel mask. But here you're
using bidx where SCU MU does have. So have a common
channel index to mask macro may be good for both using.

We shouldn't reset SCU side, but SCU MU is not using it. So I'm okay.
We just need to know the limitation later. Probably a note added here
is better.

I guess you can pick that patch and send with yours. Once your part is
reviewed ok (should be quick) then I can send the SCU part based on your
Patch series.

Finally, I'm glad that we meet an agreement now. As we're trying to
Speed up the mx8qxp support and targets to hit v4.19 kernel.
So hopefully you could help send the updated patch series soon.
Then I can follow up with my work. :)
