OMAP2+ and K3 Mailbox
=====================

The OMAP mailbox hardware facilitates communication between different processors
using a queued mailbox interrupt mechanism. The IP block is external to the
various processor subsystems and is connected on an interconnect bus. The
communication is achieved through a set of registers for message storage and
interrupt configuration registers.

Each mailbox IP block/cluster has a certain number of h/w fifo queues and output
interrupt lines. An output interrupt line is routed to an interrupt controller
within a processor subsystem, and there can be more than one line going to a
specific processor's interrupt controller. The interrupt line connections are
fixed for an instance and are dictated by the IP integration into the SoC
(excluding the SoCs that have a Interrupt Crossbar IP). Each interrupt line is
programmable through a set of interrupt configuration registers, and have a rx
and tx interrupt source per h/w fifo. Communication between different processors
is achieved through the appropriate programming of the rx and tx interrupt
sources on the appropriate interrupt lines.

The number of h/w fifo queues and interrupt lines dictate the usable registers.
All the current OMAP SoCs except for the newest DRA7xx SoC has a single IP
instance. DRA7xx has multiple instances with different number of h/w fifo queues
and interrupt lines between different instances. The interrupt lines can also be
routed to different processor sub-systems on DRA7xx as they are routed through
the Crossbar, a kind of interrupt router/multiplexer. The K3 AM65x and J721E
SoCs has each of these instances form a cluster and combine multiple clusters
into a single IP block present within the Main NavSS. The interrupt lines from
all these clusters are multiplexed and routed to different processor subsystems
over a limited number of common interrupt output lines of an Interrupt Router.
The AM64x SoCS also uses a single IP block comprising of multiple clusters,
but the number of clusters are smaller, and the interrupt output lines are
connected directly to various processors.

Mailbox Device Node:
====================
A Mailbox device node is used to represent a Mailbox IP instance/cluster within
a SoC. The sub-mailboxes are represented as child nodes of this parent node.

Required properties:
--------------------
- compatible:		Should be one of the following,
			    "ti,omap2-mailbox" for OMAP2420, OMAP2430 SoCs
			    "ti,omap3-mailbox" for OMAP3430, OMAP3630 SoCs
			    "ti,omap4-mailbox" for OMAP44xx, OMAP54xx, AM33xx,
						   AM43xx and DRA7xx SoCs
			    "ti,am654-mailbox" for K3 AM65x and J721E SoCs
			    "ti,am64-mailbox" for K3 AM64x SoCs
- reg:			Contains the mailbox register address range (base
			address and length)
- interrupts:		Contains the interrupt information for the mailbox
			device. The format is dependent on which interrupt
			controller the Mailbox device uses
- #mbox-cells:		Common mailbox binding property to identify the number
			of cells required for the mailbox specifier. Should be
			1
- ti,mbox-num-users:	Number of targets (processor devices) that the mailbox
			device can interrupt
- ti,mbox-num-fifos:	Number of h/w fifo queues within the mailbox IP block

SoC-specific Required properties:
---------------------------------
The following are mandatory properties for the OMAP architecture based SoCs
only:
- ti,hwmods:		Name of the hwmod associated with the mailbox. This
			should be defined in the mailbox node only if the node
			is not defined as a child node of a corresponding sysc
			interconnect node.

The following are mandatory properties for the K3 AM65x and J721E SoCs only:
- interrupt-parent:	Should contain a phandle to the TI-SCI interrupt
			controller node that is used to dynamically program
			the interrupt routes between the IP and the main GIC
			controllers. See the following binding for additional
			details,
			Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/ti,sci-intr.yaml

Child Nodes:
============
A child node is used for representing the actual sub-mailbox device that is
used for the communication between the host processor and a remote processor.
Each child node should have a unique node name across all the different
mailbox device nodes.

Required properties:
--------------------
- ti,mbox-tx:		sub-mailbox descriptor property defining a Tx fifo
- ti,mbox-rx:		sub-mailbox descriptor property defining a Rx fifo

Sub-mailbox Descriptor Data
---------------------------
Each of the above ti,mbox-tx and ti,mbox-rx properties should have 3 cells of
data that represent the following:
    Cell #1 (fifo_id) - mailbox fifo id used either for transmitting
                        (ti,mbox-tx) or for receiving (ti,mbox-rx)
    Cell #2 (irq_id)  - irq identifier index number to use from the parent's
                        interrupts data. Should be 0 for most of the cases, a
                        positive index value is seen only on mailboxes that have
                        multiple interrupt lines connected to the MPU processor.
    Cell #3 (usr_id)  - mailbox user id for identifying the interrupt line
                        associated with generating a tx/rx fifo interrupt.

Optional Properties:
--------------------
- ti,mbox-send-noirq:   Quirk flag to allow the client user of this sub-mailbox
                        to send messages without triggering a Tx ready interrupt,
                        and to control the Tx ticker. Should be used only on
                        sub-mailboxes used to communicate with WkupM3 remote
                        processor on AM33xx/AM43xx SoCs.

Mailbox Users:
==============
A device needing to communicate with a target processor device should specify
them using the common mailbox binding properties, "mboxes" and the optional
"mbox-names" (please see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
for details). Each value of the mboxes property should contain a phandle to the
mailbox controller device node and an args specifier that will be the phandle to
the intended sub-mailbox child node to be used for communication. The equivalent
"mbox-names" property value can be used to give a name to the communication channel
to be used by the client user.
