Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] Add Microchip IPC mailbox and remoteproc support

Hello all,

This series adds support for the Microchip Inter-Processor Communication
(IPC) mailbox controller, as well as an IPC remoteproc platform driver.

Microchip's family of RISC-V SoCs typically has one or more clusters
that can be configured to run in Asymmetric Multi-Processing (AMP) mode.

The Microchip IPC is used to send messages between processors using
an interrupt signaling mechanism. The driver uses the RISC-V Supervisor
Binary Interface (SBI) to communicate with software running in machine
mode (M-mode) to access the IPC hardware block.

Additional details on the Microchip vendor extension and the IPC
function IDs described in the driver can be found in the following
documentation:

https://github.com/linux4microchip/microchip-sbi-ecall-extension

The IPC remoteproc platform driver allows for starting and stopping
firmware on the remote cluster(s) and facilitates RPMsg communication.
The remoteproc attach/detach operations are also supported for use cases
where the firmware is loaded by the Hart Software Services
(zero-stage bootloader) before Linux boots.

Error Recovery and Power Management features are not currently
supported in the remoteproc platform driver.

The PIC64GX MPU has a Mi-V IHC block, this will be added to the PIC64GX
dts after the initial upstreaming:

Thanks,
