Subject: [PATCH 1/2] firmware: imx: Add DSP IPC protocol driver

From: Daniel Baluta <[email protected]>

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 driver 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 driver 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 drivers 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 driver on
notification arrival from DSP.

Please, extract needed device or handle form device tree. The consumer
should pars own device tree node and get the phandle to the dsp node.

On this test idx may overflow. DSP_MU_CHAN_NUM is 4, means idx can be:
0, 1, 2, 3. In you case idx == 4 is allowed, so the caller will be able
to corrupt the rest of imx_dsp_ipc struct.

On the error you will leak the memory previously allocated chan_name.
And you should call mbox_free_channel() for each previously registered
channel in this loop.

bad idea. What happens if multiple dsp nodes are registered in the
device tree?

i would prefer to have chip name in the compatible. For example
fsl,imx8qm-dsp. Soon or later we will need to define some quirks
for on or another chip.

I understand the idea, but I'm not sure how this can be done.

imx_dsp_handle is just a pointer to the memory allocated in imx_dsp_probe.

I assume that consumer might have access to this driver's
platform_device dev and
we can hive the imx_dsp_ipc handle inside some sort of private date. I will
investigate this. So far I have followed the approach taken in
drivers/firmware/imx/imx-scu.c

Indeed, you are right! Will fix in v2.

True. Altough we have only one DSP. Having that global variable seemed
a very idea from the start. Will need to fix that also in imx-scu.c

I see. Will fix in v2.

Makes sense. Will fix in v2.
