The problem is these events are defined in include/dt- bindings/mailbox/mediatek,mt8188-gce.h and include/dt- bindings/gce/mt8195-gce.h. I can only use them in their mt8188.dts or mt8195.dts. If I want to use the same event define in 2 different headers in the same CMDQ mailbox driver, I think I just can parse their dts to get the corresponding one. Do you know how to generally deal with this problem? Or I can just use the number of event ID in driver data without the event define in dt-bindings header. > > So we define an event ID that will be set when GCE runs to the end > > of > > secure cmdq packet in the secure world. > > > > This can reduce the latency of software communication between > > normal > > world and secure world.

CMDQ mailbox driver can reserved a channel itself and it will know which channel has occupied. CMDQ users will request fail if they want to use the reserved channel. I'll drop this and move it into CMDQ mailbox driver data for mt8188 and mt8195.
