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.

V3:
 Convert to yaml
 Drop interrupt
 Introudce transports to indicate mem/reg
 The func id is still kept as optional, because like SCMI it only
 cares about message.

V2:
 Introduce interrupts as a property.

+description: |
+  This mailbox uses the ARM smc (secure monitor call) and hvc (hypervisor
+  call) instruction to trigger a mailbox-connected activity in firmware,
+  executing on the very same core as the caller. By nature this operation
+  is synchronous and this mailbox provides no way for asynchronous message=
s
+  to be delivered the other way round, from firmware to the OS, but
+  asynchronous notification could also be supported. However the value of
+  r0/w0/x0 the firmware returns after the smc call is delivered as a recei=
ved
+  message to the mailbox framework, so a synchronous communication can be
+  established, for a asynchronous notification, no value will be returned.
+  The exact meaning of both the action the mailbox triggers as well as the
+  return value is defined by their users and is not subject to this bindin=
g.
+
+  One use case of this mailbox is the SCMI interface, which uses shared me=
mory
+  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 one of the described SMC function identifier=
s,
+  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
+  identifiers are passed from consumers, or listed in the the arm,func-ids
+  properties 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.
