On STE side, we are working on a mailbox driver which will rely on mailbox framework. However some modifications in current Omap mailbox framework are needed to fit STE HW specificities. - API naming should be generic (replace omap prefix by mailbox) - message type should be enhanced - fifo mechanism is linked to Omap maibox, not needed in STE case since it relies on cross interrupt + shared memory I already have modifications I'll send you to see how we can create a common and generic mailbox framework.
