The QMP mailbox is the primary means of communication between TME-L SS
and other subsystem on the SoC. A dedicated pair of inbound and outbound
mailboxes is implemented for each subsystem/external execution environment
which needs to communicate with TME-L for security services. The inbound
mailboxes are used to send IPC requests to TME-L, which are then processed
by TME-L firmware and accordingly the responses are sent to the requestor
via outbound mailboxes.
It is an IPC transport protocol which is light weight and supports
a subset of API's. It handles link initialization, negotiation,
establishment and communication across client(APPSS/BTSS/AUDIOSS)
and server(TME-L SS).

TME-L SS provides different kinds of services like secureboot, remote image authentication,
key management, crypto, OEM provisioning etc. This patch adds support for remote image
authentication. Support for rest of the services can be added.
Remote proc driver subscribes to this mailbox and uses the mbox_send_message to use
TME-L to securely authenticate/teardown the images.
Since clients like same rproc driver use SCM/TMEL across socs, the goal here was to abstract the
TMEL-QMP SS functionality, so that clients should be able to connect and send messages with
a common API.
[v1] RFC Post
[v2]
Added HW description in the bindings patch.
Fixed review comments for bindings from Krzysztof and Dmitry
Changed patch#2 driver to add work for mailbox tx processing
Cleaned up patch#2 for some checkpatch warnings.
There are some checkpatch [CHECK] like below, which looks like false positive.
CHECK: Macro argument 'm' may be better as '(m)' to avoid precedence issues
