| * 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>; |
| .. |
| }; |
