This driver exposes a mailbox interface for interprocessor communication
using the Hardware Synchronization Primitives (HSP) module's doorbell
mechanism. There are multiple HSP instances and they provide additional
features such as shared mailboxes, shared and arbitrated semaphores.
A driver for a remote processor can use the mailbox client provided by
the HSP driver and build an IPC protocol on top of this synchronization
mechanism.

entities.
Clients sitting on top of this would manage the required protocol
for communicating with the counterpart entities.

This driver is found on RK3368 SoCs.
The Mailbox module is a simple APB peripheral that allows both
the Cortex-A53 MCU system to communicate by writing operation to
generate interrupt.
The registers are accessible by both CPU via APB interface.
The Mailbox has the following main features:
1) Support dual-core system: Cortex-A53 and MCU.
2) Support APB interface.
3) Support four mailbox elements, each element includes one data word,
one command word register and one flag bit that can represent
one interrupt.
4) Four interrupts to Cortex-A53.
5) Four interrupts to MCU.
6) Provide 32 lock registers for software to use to indicate whether
mailbox is occupied.

Add driver for Hi6220 mailbox, the mailbox communicates with MCU; for
sending data, it can support two methods for low level implementation:
one is to use interrupt as acknowledge, another is automatic mode which
without any acknowledge. These two methods have been supported in the
driver. For receiving data, it will depend on the interrupt to notify
the channel has incoming message.
Now mailbox driver is used to send message to MCU to control dynamic
voltage and frequency scaling for CPU, GPU and DDR.

ST's platforms currently support a maximum of 5 Mailboxes, one for
each of the supported co-processors situated on the platform. Each
Mailbox is divided up into 4 instances which consist of 32 channels.
Messages are passed between the application and co-processors using
shared memory areas. It is the Client's responsibility to manage
these areas.

This mailbox driver provides a single mailbox channel to write 32-bit
values to the VPU and get a 32-bit response. The Raspberry Pi
firmware uses this mailbox channel to implement firmware calls, while
Roku 2 (despite being derived from the same firmware tree) doesn't.
The driver was originally submitted by Lubomir, based on the
out-of-tree 2708 mailbox driver. Eric Anholt fixed it up for
upstreaming, with the major functional change being that it now has no
notion of multiple channels (since that is a firmware-dependent
concept) and instead the raspberrypi-firmware driver will do that
bit-twiddling in its own messages.

ACPI 5.0+ spec defines a generic mode of communication
between the OS and a platform such as the BMC. This medium
(PCC) is typically used by CPPC (ACPI CPU Performance management),
RAS (ACPI reliability protocol) and MPST (ACPI Memory power
states).
This patch adds PCC support as a Mailbox Controller. As of
ACPI v5.1 there is no provision for clients to lookup mailbox
controllers in a way that Linux expects. e.g. in DT the clients
can list the mailboxes they can associate with in the DT binding
and then provide a unique index to lookup a channel within a mailbox.
Since the ACPI spec doesn't have anything similar, we introduce a
mailbox controller specific API so that when the client calls it,
we know to lookup in the context of a specific controller. This
also helps in keeping a consistent interface across DT and ACPI
for such drivers.
This patch implements basic PCC support using the ACPI v5.1
structures. IRQ mode support will be provided as follow up patches.

There is no need for a separate common OMAP mailbox module
now that the OMAP1 mailbox driver has been removed. So,
consolidate the two individual OMAP mailbox modules into a
single driver. This streamlines the driver for converting
to mailbox framework.
The following are the main changes:
- collapse mailbox-omap2.c into omap-mailbox.c
- remove omap_mbox_ops and replace the ops calls with
the equivalent functionality.
- simplify the sub-mailbox startup/shutdown functionality,
the one-time operations are moved into probe, and the
pm_runtime_get_sync and pm_runtime_put_sync can be invoked
without using a configuration counter.
- move all definitions from private omap_mbox.h into the
source code, and eliminate this internal header.
- rename some variables that used the omap2_mbox prefix with
a generic omap_mbox prefix.

The mailbox hardware (in OMAP) uses a queued mailbox interrupt
mechanism that provides a communication channel between processors
through a set of registers and their associated interrupt signals
by sending and receiving messages.
The OMAP mailbox framework/driver code is moved to be under
drivers/mailbox, in preparation for adapting to a common mailbox
driver framework. This allows the build for OMAP mailbox to be
enabled (it was disabled during the multi-platform support).
As part of the migration from plat and mach code:
- Kconfig symbols have been renamed to build OMAP1 or OMAP2+ drivers.
- mailbox.h under plat-omap/plat/include has been split into a public
and private header files. The public header has only the API related
functions and types.
- The module name mailbox.ko from plat-omap is changed to
omap-mailbox.ko
- The module name mailbox_mach.ko from mach-omapX is changed as
mailbox_omap1.ko for OMAP1
mailbox_omap2.ko for OMAP2+
