1 ARM MHU Mailbox Driver
2 ======================
3
4 The ARM's Message-Handling-Unit (MHU) is a mailbox controller that has
5 3 independent channels/links to communicate with remote processor(s).
6 MHU links are hardwired on a platform. A link raises interrupt for any
7 received data. However, there is no specified way of knowing if the sent
8 data has been read by the remote. This driver assumes the sender polls
9 STAT register and the remote clears it after having read the data.
10 The last channel is specified to be a 'Secure' resource, hence can't be
11 used by Linux running NS.

13 Mailbox Device Node:
14 ====================
15
16 Required properties:
17 --------------------
18 - compatible: Shall be "arm,mhu" & "arm,primecell"
19 - reg: Contains the mailbox register address range (base
20 address and length)
21 - #mbox-cells Shall be 1 - the index of the channel needed.
22 - interrupts: Contains the interrupt information corresponding to
23 each of the 3 links of MHU.

25 Example:
26 --------
27
28 mhu: mailbox@2b1f0000 {
29 #mbox-cells = <1>;
30 compatible = "arm,mhu", "arm,primecell";
31 reg = <0 0x2b1f0000 0x1000>;
32 interrupts = <0 36 4>, /* LP-NonSecure */
33 <0 35 4>, /* HP-NonSecure */
34 <0 37 4>; /* Secure */
35 clocks = <&clock 0 2 1>;
36 clock-names = "apb_pclk";
37 };
38
39 mhu_client: scb@2e000000 {
40 compatible = "fujitsu,mb86s70-scb-1.0";
41 reg = <0 0x2e000000 0x4000>;
42 mboxes = <&mhu 1>; /* HP-NonSecure */
43 };
