| * Generic Mailbox Controller and client driver bindings | |
| Generic binding to provide a way for Mailbox controller drivers to | |
| assign appropriate mailbox channel to client drivers. | |
| * Mailbox Controller | |
| Required property: | |
| - #mbox-cells: Must be at least 1. Number of cells in a mailbox | |
| specifier. | |
| Example: | |
| mailbox: mailbox { | |
| ... | |
| #mbox-cells = <1>; | |
| }; | |
| * Mailbox Client | |
| Required property: | |
| - mboxes: List of phandle and mailbox channel specifiers. | |
| Optional property: | |
| - mbox-names: List of identifier strings for each mailbox channel. | |
| - shmem : List of phandle pointing to the shared memory(SHM) area between the | |
| users of these mailboxes for IPC, one for each mailbox. This shared | |
| memory can be part of any memory reserved for the purpose of this | |
| communication between the mailbox client and the remote. | |
| Example: | |
| pwr_cntrl: power { | |
| ... | |
| mbox-names = "pwr-ctrl", "rpc"; | |
| mboxes = <&mailbox 0 &mailbox 1>; | |
| }; | |
| Example with shared memory(shmem): | |
| sram: sram@50000000 { | |
| compatible = "mmio-sram"; | |
| reg = <0x50000000 0x10000>; | |
| #address-cells = <1>; | |
| #size-cells = <1>; | |
| ranges = <0 0x50000000 0x10000>; | |
| cl_shmem: shmem@0 { | |
| compatible = "client-shmem"; | |
| reg = <0x0 0x200>; | |
| }; | |
| }; | |
| client@2e000000 { | |
| ... | |
| mboxes = <&mailbox 0>; | |
| shmem = <&cl_shmem>; | |
| .. | |
| }; |
