This patch adds PCC support as a Mailbox Controller.

I am bit confused here, though I prefer PCC to depend on ACPI, I have
seen discussion in this thread about using PCC without ACPI, how will
that work ?

Really, do you want to allocate 256 structures of mbox_chan even on
systems with just 1 - 2 channels(typically that would be the case) ?

IIUC, the PCCT table has the physical base Address of the shared memory
range in the PCC subspace structures. Can you use that directly here ?
Or are you mapping that memory elsewhere and updating the mapped address
to the table ?

This will explode if the pcct_ss->base_address is not mapped.

In general you can isolate all the access to the shared memory in the
protocol layer. In that case you might have to use mbox_client_txdone
instead of this pcc_tx_done.

IMO it's not clean to modify only first 3 elements namely: Signature,
Command and Status while the Communication Space is updated elsewhere.
It's better to have all of them in one place if possible as mentioned above.

Only the above 2 must be part of the controller driver, the remaining as
I mentioned can be move to the protocol/client layer, thoughts ?

In general, the interrupt part of the PCCT SS is not considered in this
patch. It's better to see/discuss how that can be fit into the mailbox
framework, though it could be follow up patch.

Sudeep
