Subject: [PATCHv6 0/3] Common Mailbox Framework

Hello,
Here is the next revision of Mailbox framwork.

Changes since v5:
o Use standard error types instead of special type mbox_result.
o Constify client struct in request_channel
o Use reinit_completion instead of init_completion every time.
o Improve commentary in bindings and code.

Changes since v4:
o Common DT binding for Controller and Client drivers
As a result, discard string based channel matching
o Provide for an atomic 'peek' api, that a client could
call to trigger the controller driver push data upwards.
o OMAP and Highbank conversion to new api is left out, which
can be converted later by the developers.

Changes since v3:
o Change name of symbols from ipc to mbox
o Return real types instead of void *
o Align structures
o Change some symbol names
rxcb -> rx_callback
txcb -> tx_done
o Added kernel-doc for exported API
o Dropped the cl_id and use clients pointer for callbacks.
o Fixed locking of channel pool
o Return negative error code for unsuccessful ipc_send_message()
o Module referencing during mailbox assignment to a client.
o Made error code symbols specific to mailbox.

Thanks
Jassi

Subject: [PATCHv6 1/3] mailbox: rename pl320-ipc specific mailbox.h

From: Suman Anna <[email protected]>

The patch 30058677 "ARM / highbank: add support for pl320 IPC"
added a pl320 IPC specific header file as a generic mailbox.h.
This file has been renamed appropriately to allow the
introduction of the generic mailbox API framework.

Subject: [PATCHv6 2/3] mailbox: Introduce framework for mailbox

Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and
controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC).

Client driver developers should have a look at
include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of
the API exposed to client drivers.
Similarly controller driver developers should have a look
at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h

I forgot to drop the unneeded __aligned attribute. Other than this, I
am keen on knowing what else.

Could you please include all the DT maintainers here? It's a generic
binding that needs wider review and an ack. The binding should be
separated as noted below.

>From Documentations/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt:

I. For patch submitters

0) Normal patch submission rules from Documentation/SubmittingPatches
applies.

1) The Documentation/ portion of the patch should be a separate patch.

2) Submit the entire series to the devicetree mailinglist at

Thanks. I missed CC'ing DT ML. I remember patches with DT bindings
and parser code getting upstream... and actually see better sense in
that. But I guess I have to separate out the bindings.

Thanks
