V8:
Add missed arm-smccc-mbox.h
V7:
Typo fix
#mbox-cells changed to 0
Add a new header file arm-smccc-mbox.h
Use ARM_SMCCC_IS_64
Andre,
The function_id is still kept in arm_smccc_mbox_cmd, because arm,func-id
property is optional, so clients could pass function_id to mbox driver.
V6:
Switch to per-channel a mbox controller
Drop arm,num-chans, transports, method
Add arm,hvc-mbox compatible
Fix smc/hvc args, drop client id and use correct type.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11146641/
V5:
yaml fix
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11117741/
V4:
yaml fix for num-chans in patch 1/2.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11116521/
V3:
Drop interrupt
Introduce transports for mem/reg usage
Add chan-id for mem usage
Convert to yaml format
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11043541/
V2:
This is a modified version from Andre Przywara's patch series
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/812997/.
The modification are mostly:
Introduce arm,num-chans
Introduce arm_smccc_mbox_cmd
txdone_poll and txdone_irq are both set to false
arm,func-ids are kept, but as an optional property.
Rewords SCPI to SCMI, because I am trying SCMI over SMC, not SCPI.
Introduce interrupts notification.
[1] is a draft implementation of i.MX8MM SCMI ATF implementation that
use smc as mailbox, power/clk is included, but only part of clk has been
implemented to work with hardware, power domain only supports get name
for now.
The traditional Linux mailbox mechanism uses some kind of dedicated hardware
IP to signal a condition to some other processing unit, typically a dedicated
management processor.
This mailbox feature is used for instance by the SCMI protocol to signal a
request for some action to be taken by the management processor.
However some SoCs does not have a dedicated management core to provide
those services. In order to service TEE and to avoid linux shutdown
power and clock that used by TEE, need let firmware to handle power
and clock, the firmware here is ARM Trusted Firmware that could also
run SCMI service.
The existing SCMI implementation uses a rather flexible shared memory
region to communicate commands and their parameters, it still requires a
mailbox to actually trigger the action.
This patch series provides a Linux mailbox compatible service which uses
smc calls to invoke firmware code, for instance taking care of SCMI requests.
The actual requests are still communicated using the standard SCMI way of
shared memory regions, but a dedicated mailbox hardware IP can be replaced via
this new driver.
This simple driver uses the architected SMC calling convention to trigger
firmware services, also allows for using "HVC" calls to call into hypervisors
or firmware layers running in the EL2 exception level.
Patch 1 contains the device tree binding documentation, patch 2 introduces
the actual mailbox driver.
Please note that this driver just provides a generic mailbox mechanism,
It could support synchronous TX/RX, or synchronous TX with asynchronous
RX. And while providing SCMI services was the reason for this exercise,
this driver is in no way bound to this use case, but can be used generically
where the OS wants to signal a mailbox condition to firmware or a
hypervisor.
Also the driver is in no way meant to replace any existing firmware
interface, but actually to complement existing interfaces.

From: Peng Fan <[email protected]>
This mailbox driver implements a mailbox which signals transmitted data
via an ARM smc (secure monitor call) instruction. The mailbox receiver
is implemented in firmware and can synchronously return data when it
returns execution to the non-secure world again.
An asynchronous receive path is not implemented.
This allows the usage of a mailbox to trigger firmware actions on SoCs
which either don't have a separate management processor or on which such
a core is not available. A user of this mailbox could be the SCP
interface.

2.16.4
From: Peng Fan <[email protected]>
The ARM SMC/HVC mailbox binding describes a firmware interface to trigger
actions in software layers running in the EL2 or EL3 exception levels.
The term "ARM" here relates to the SMC instruction as part of the ARM
instruction set, not as a standard endorsed by ARM Ltd.

+description: |
+ This mailbox uses the ARM smc (secure monitor call) or hvc (hypervisor
+ call) instruction to trigger a mailbox-connected activity in firmware,
+ executing on the very same core as the caller. The value of r0/w0/x0
+ the firmware returns after the smc call is delivered as a received
+ message to the mailbox framework, so synchronous communication can be
+ established. The exact meaning of the action the mailbox triggers as
+ well as the return value is defined by their users and is not subject
+ to this binding.
+
+ One example use case of this mailbox is the SCMI interface, which uses
+ shared memory to transfer commands and parameters, and a mailbox to
+ trigger a function call. This allows SoCs without a separate management
+ processor (or when such a processor is not available or used) to use
+ this standardized interface anyway.
+
+ This binding describes no hardware, but establishes a firmware interface.
+ Upon receiving an SMC using the described SMC function identifier, the
+ firmware is expected to trigger some mailbox connected functionality.
+ The communication follows the ARM SMC calling convention.
+ Firmware expects an SMC function identifier in r0 or w0. The supported
+ identifier are passed from consumers, or listed in the the arm,func-id
+ property as described below. The firmware can return one value in
+ the first SMC result register, it is expected to be an error value,
+ which shall be propagated to the mailbox client.
+
+ Any core which supports the SMC or HVC instruction can be used, as long
+ as a firmware component running in EL3 or EL2 is handling these calls.
