Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and
controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC).
Client driver developers should have a look at
include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of
the API exposed to client drivers.
Similarly controller driver developers should have a look
at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h

+Required property:
+- #mbox-cells: Must be at least 1. Number of cells in a mailbox

+
+Example:
+ mailbox: mailbox {

+Required property:
+- mbox: List of phandle and mailbox channel specifier.

+ The Common Mailbox Framework
+ Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@xxxxxxxxxx>
+
+ This document aims to help developers write client and controller
+drivers for the API. But before we start, let us note that the
+client (especially) and controller drivers are likely going to be
+very platform specific because the remote firmware is likely to be
+proprietary and implement non-standard protocol. So even if two
+platforms employ, say, PL320 controller, the client drivers can't
+be shared across them. Even the PL320 driver might need to accomodate
+some platform specific quirks. So the API is meant mainly to avoid
+similar copies of code written for each platform.
+ Some of the choices made during implementation are the result of this
+peculiarity of this "common" framework.
+
+
+
+ Part 1 - Controller Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_controller.h)
+
+ Allocate mbox_controller and the array of mbox_chan.
+Populate mbox_chan_ops, except peek_data() all are mandatory.
+The controller driver might know a message has been consumed
+by the remote by getting an IRQ or polling some hardware flag
+or it can never know (the client knows by way of the protocol).
+The method in order of preference is IRQ -> Poll -> None, which
+the controller driver should set via 'txdone_irq' or 'txdone_poll'
+or neither.
+
+
+ Part 2 - Client Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_client.h)
+
+ The client might want to operate in blocking mode (synchronously
+send a message through before returning) or non-blocking/async mode (submit
+a message and a callback function to the API and return immediately).

+ * struct mbox_chan_ops - methods to control mailbox channels
+ * @send_data: The API asks the MBOX controller driver, in atomic
+ * context try to transmit a message on the bus. Returns 0 if
+ * data is accepted for transmission, -EBUSY while rejecting
+ * if the remote hasn't yet read the last data sent. Actual
+ * transmission of data is reported by the controller via
+ * mbox_chan_txdone (if it has some TX ACK irq). It must not
+ * block.
+ * @startup: Called when a client requests the chan. The controller
+ * could ask clients for additional parameters of communication
+ * to be provided via client's chan_data. This call may
+ * block. After this call the Controller must forward any
+ * data received on the chan by calling mbox_chan_received_data.
+ * @shutdown: Called when a client relinquishes control of a chan.
+ * This call may block too. The controller must not forwared
+ * any received data anymore.
+ * @last_tx_done: If the controller sets 'txdone_poll', the API calls
+ * this to poll status of last TX. The controller must
+ * give priority to IRQ method over polling and never
+ * set both txdone_poll and txdone_irq. Only in polling
+ * mode 'send_data' is expected to return -EBUSY.
+ * Used only if txdone_poll:=true && txdone_irq:=false
+ * @peek_data: Atomic check for any received data. Return true if controller
+ * has some data to push to the client. False otherwise.
