[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This mailbox hardware is present in Allwinner sun8i, sun9i, and sun50i
SoCs. Add a device tree binding for it.

+Allwinner sun6i Message Box
+===========================
+
+The hardware message box on sun6i and newer sunxi SoCs is a two-user mailbox
+controller containing 8 unidirectional FIFOs. An interrupt is raised for
+received messages, but software must poll to know when a transmitted message has
+been acknowledged by the remote user.
+
+Refer to ./mailbox.txt for generic information about mailbox device-tree
+bindings.
+
+Mailbox Device Node:
+====================
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+- compatible:		Must contain at least "allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox".
+			Should also contain another SoC-specific string when
+			used on other SoCs which are compatible, e.g.
+			- allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox
+			- allwinner,sun8i-a83t-msgbox, allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox
+			- allwinner,sun8i-h3-msgbox, allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox
+			- allwinner,sun9i-a80-msgbox, allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox
+			- allwinner,sun50i-a64-msgbox, allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox
+			- allwinner,sun50i-h6-msgbox, allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox
+- reg:			Contains the mailbox register address range (base
+			address and length).
+- clocks:		phandle for the bus clock controller and specifier.
+- resets:		phandle for the bus reset controller and specifier.
+- interrupts:		Contains interrupt information for the mailbox.
+- #mbox-cells:		Must be 1.
+
+Example:
+--------
+
+	msgbox: mailbox@1c17000 {
+		compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-msgbox",
+		             "allwinner,sun6i-a31-msgbox";
+		reg = <0x01c17000 0x1000>;
+		clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_MSGBOX>;
+		resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_MSGBOX>;
+		interrupts = <GIC_SPI 49 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+		#mbox-cells = <1>;
+	};
