Some of i.MX8 processors (e.g i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP) contain
the Tensilica HiFi4 DSP for advanced pre- and post-audio
processing.
The communication between Host CPU and DSP firmware is
taking place using a shared memory area for message passing
and a dedicated Messaging Unit for notifications.
DSP IPC protocol offers a doorbell interface using
imx-mailbox API.
We use 4 MU channels (2 x TXDB, 2 x RXDB) to implement a
request-reply protocol.
Connection 0 (txdb0, rxdb0):
- Host writes messasge to shared memory [SHMEM]
- Host sends a request [MU]
- DSP handles request [SHMEM]
- DSP sends reply [MU]
Connection 1 (txdb1, rxdb1):
- DSP writes a message to shared memory [SHMEM]
- DSP sends a request [MU]
- Host handles request [SHMEM]
- Host sends reply [MU]
The protocol interface will be used by a Host client to
communicate with the DSP. First client will be the i.MX8
part from Sound Open Firmware infrastructure.
The protocol offers the following interface:
On Tx:
- imx_dsp_ring_doorbell, will be called to notify the DSP
that it needs to handle a request.
On Rx:
- clients need to provide two callbacks:
.handle_reply
.handle_request
- the callbacks will be used by the protocol on
notification arrival from DSP.

The System Controller Firmware (SCFW) controls RTC, thermal
and WDOG etc., these resources' interrupt function are managed
by SCU. When any IRQ pending, SCU will notify Linux via MU general
interrupt channel #3, and Linux kernel needs to call SCU APIs
to get IRQ status and notify each module to handle the interrupt.
Since there is no data transmission for SCU IRQ notification, so
doorbell mode is used for this MU channel, and SCU driver will
use notifier mechanism to broadcast to every module which registers
the SCU block notifier.

Some i.MX SoCs contain a system controller that is responsible for
controlling the state of the IPs that are present. Communication
between the host processor running an OS and the system controller
happens through a SCU protocol. This patch adds SCU protocol based
power domains drivers.

The System Controller Firmware (SCFW) is a low-level system function
which runs on a dedicated Cortex-M core to provide power, clock, and
resource management. It exists on some i.MX8 processors. e.g. i.MX8QM
(QM, QP), and i.MX8QX (QXP, DX).
This patch implements the SCU firmware IPC function and the common
message sending API sc_call_rpc.
