Message-Id: <20230327140342.222168-2-cristian.marussi@arm.com> Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 15:03:41 +0100 From: Cristian Marussi <cristian.marussi@....com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org, devicetree@...r.kernel.org Cc: sudeep.holla@....com, vincent.guittot@...aro.org, souvik.chakravarty@....com, nicola.mazzucato@....com, cristian.marussi@....com, robh+dt@...nel.org, krzysztof.kozlowski+dt@...aro.org Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: firmware: arm,scmi: Support mailboxes unidirectional channels SCMI defines two kinds of communication channels between the agent and the platform: one bidirectional 'a2p' channel used by the agent to send SCMI commands and synchronously receive the related replies, and an optional 'p2a' unidirectional channel used to asynchronously receive delayed responses and notifications emitted from the platform. When configuring an SCMI transport based on mailboxes, the current binding supports only mailboxes providing bidirectional channels: in such a case one mailbox channel can be easily assigned to each SCMI channel as above described. In case, instead, to have to deal with mailboxes providing only distinct unidirectional channels, it becomes necessary to extend the binding in order to be able to bind 2 distinct unidirectional mailbox channels to the same SCMI 'a2p' channel. Bidirectional and unidirectional channels support for the SCMI mailbox transport can coexist by carefully considering the effective combination of defined 'mboxes' and 'shmem' descriptors.
