| Broadcom FlexRM Ring Manager |
| ============================ |
| The Broadcom FlexRM ring manager provides a set of rings which can be |
| used to submit work to offload engines. An SoC may have multiple FlexRM |
| hardware blocks. There is one device tree entry per FlexRM block. The |
| FlexRM driver will create a mailbox-controller instance for given FlexRM |
| hardware block where each mailbox channel is a separate FlexRM ring. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| -------------------- |
| - compatible: Should be "brcm,iproc-flexrm-mbox" |
| - reg: Specifies base physical address and size of the FlexRM |
| ring registers |
| - msi-parent: Phandles (and potential Device IDs) to MSI controllers |
| The FlexRM engine will send MSIs (instead of wired |
| interrupts) to CPU. There is one MSI for each FlexRM ring. |
| Refer devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/msi.txt |
| - #mbox-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode a mailbox |
| channel. This should be 3. |
| |
| The 1st cell is the mailbox channel number. |
| |
| The 2nd cell contains MSI completion threshold. This is the |
| number of completion messages for which FlexRM will inject |
| one MSI interrupt to CPU. |
| |
| The 3nd cell contains MSI timer value representing time for |
| which FlexRM will wait to accumulate N completion messages |
| where N is the value specified by 2nd cell above. If FlexRM |
| does not get required number of completion messages in time |
| specified by this cell then it will inject one MSI interrupt |
| to CPU provided at least one completion message is available. |
| |
| Optional properties: |
| -------------------- |
| - dma-coherent: Present if DMA operations made by the FlexRM engine (such |
| as DMA descriptor access, access to buffers pointed by DMA |
| descriptors and read/write pointer updates to DDR) are |
| cache coherent with the CPU. |
| |
| Example: |
| -------- |
| crypto_mbox: mbox@67000000 { |
| compatible = "brcm,iproc-flexrm-mbox"; |
| reg = <0x67000000 0x200000>; |
| msi-parent = <&gic_its 0x7f00>; |
| #mbox-cells = <3>; |
| }; |
| |
| crypto@672c0000 { |
| compatible = "brcm,spu2-v2-crypto"; |
| reg = <0x672c0000 0x1000>; |
| mboxes = <&crypto_mbox 0 0x1 0xffff>, |
| <&crypto_mbox 1 0x1 0xffff>, |
| <&crypto_mbox 16 0x1 0xffff>, |
| <&crypto_mbox 17 0x1 0xffff>, |
| <&crypto_mbox 30 0x1 0xffff>, |
| <&crypto_mbox 31 0x1 0xffff>; |
| }; |
