You mean channel number as following? @@ -37,10 +38,10 @@ static int arm_smc_send_data(struct mbox_chan *link, void *data) function_id = cmd->a0; if (chan_data->flags & ARM_SMC_MBOX_USE_HVC) - arm_smccc_hvc(function_id, cmd->a1, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4, + arm_smccc_hvc(function_id, chan_data->chan_id, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4, cmd->a5, cmd->a6, cmd->a7, &res); else - arm_smccc_smc(function_id, cmd->a1, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4, + arm_smccc_smc(function_id, chan_data->chan_id, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4, cmd->a5, cmd->a6, cmd->a7, &res); Or should that be passed from firmware driver?
