Daniel Baluta ffbf23d503 firmware: imx: Add DSP IPC protocol interface
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.

help
This enables DSP IPC protocol between host AP (Linux)
and the firmware running on DSP.
DSP exists on some i.MX8 processors (e.g i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP).
It acts like a doorbell. Client might use shared memory to
exchange information with DSP side.

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 driver manages the IPC interface between host CPU and the
SCU firmware running on M4.
