Nishanth Menon 0f23a17974 dt-bindings: mailbox: Add support for secure proxy threads
Secure Proxy is another communication scheme in Texas Instrument's
devices intended to provide an unique communication path from various
processors in the System on Chip(SoC) to a central System Controller.

Secure proxy is, in effect, an evolution of current generation Message
Manager hardware block found in K2G devices. However the following
changes have taken place:

Secure Proxy instance exposes "threads" or "proxies" which is
primary representation of "a" communication channel. Each thread is
preconfigured by System controller configuration based on SoC usage
requirements. Secure proxy by itself represents a single "queue" of
communication but allows the proxies to be independently operated.

Each Secure proxy thread can uniquely have their own error and threshold
interrupts allowing for more fine control of IRQ handling.

Provide an hardware description of the same for device tree
representation.

See AM65x Technical Reference Manual (SPRUID7, April 2018)

Texas Instruments' Secure Proxy
========================================
The Texas Instruments' secure proxy is a mailbox controller that has
configurable queues selectable at SoC(System on Chip) integration. The
Message manager is broken up into different address regions that are
called "threads" or "proxies" - each instance is unidirectional and is
instantiated at SoC integration level by system controller to indicate
receive or transmit path.
Message Manager Device Node:
===========================
Required properties:
--------------------
- compatible: Shall be "ti,am654-secure-proxy"
- reg-names target_data - Map the proxy data region
rt - Map the realtime status region
scfg - Map the configuration region
- reg: Contains the register map per reg-names.
- #mbox-cells Shall be 1 and shall refer to the transfer path
called thread.
- interrupt-names: Contains interrupt names matching the rx transfer path
for a given SoC. Receive interrupts shall be of the
format: "rx_<PID>".
- interrupts: Contains the interrupt information corresponding to
interrupt-names property.
Example(AM654):
------------
secure_proxy: mailbox@32c00000 {
compatible = "ti,am654-secure-proxy";
#mbox-cells = <1>;
reg-names = "target_data", "rt", "scfg";
reg = <0x0 0x32c00000 0x0 0x100000>,
<0x0 0x32400000 0x0 0x100000>,
<0x0 0x32800000 0x0 0x100000>;
interrupt-names = "rx_011";
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 32 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
};
dmsc: dmsc {
[...]
mbox-names = "rx", "tx";
# RX Thread ID is 11
# TX Thread ID is 13
mboxes= <&secure_proxy 11>,
<&secure_proxy 13>;
[...]
};
