The MPM (and some other things, irrelevant to this patchset) resides
(as far as the ARM cores are concerned, anyway) in a MMIO-mapped region
that's a portion of the RPM (low-power management core)'s RAM, known
as the RPM Message RAM. Representing this relation in the Device Tree
creates some challenges, as one would either have to treat a memory
region as a bus, map nodes in a way such that their reg-s would be
overlapping, or supply the nodes with a slice of that region.
This series implements the third option, by adding a qcom,rpm-msg-ram
property, which has been used for some drivers poking into this region
before. Bindings ABI compatibility is preserved through keeping the
"normal" (a.k.a read the reg property and map that region) way of
passing the register space.
Example representation with this patchset:
/ {
[...]
mpm: interrupt-controller {
compatible = "qcom,mpm";
qcom,rpm-msg-ram = <&apss_mpm>;
[...]
};
[...]
soc: soc@0 {
[...]
rpm_msg_ram: sram@45f0000 {
compatible = "qcom,rpm-msg-ram", "mmio-sram";
reg = <0 0x045f0000 0 0x7000>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
ranges = <0 0x0 0x045f0000 0x7000>;
apss_mpm: sram@1b8 {
reg = <0x1b8 0x48>;
};
};
};
};
