Subject: [PATCH v3 2/9] dt-bindings: mailbox: Add mboxes property for CMDQ secure driver

Add mboxes to define a GCE loopping thread as a secure irq handler.
This property is only required if CMDQ secure driver is supported.

What do drivers have to do with this? Either the mailbox channel exists
or it does not. That said, I am not sure why this should be in DT in the
first place, can't the driver for the mailbox controller reserve a
channel for its own use?

Thanks,
Conor.

Hi Conor,

Thanks for the reviews.

Since we implemented our mtk-cmdq-mailbox driver with mailbox
frameworks, one mbox channel bounds to a GCE HW thread.
So if we want to request a mbox channel for using a GCE HW thread for
secure irq handler in mtk-cmdq-mailbox driver itself, I think we need
to add this property to DT.
