Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] dt-bindings: mailbox: Add ASPEED AST2700 series SoC
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2025 15:54:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250603075450.133604-2-jammy_huang@aspeedtech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250603075450.133604-1-jammy_huang@aspeedtech.com>

Introduce the mailbox module for AST27XX series SoC, which is responsible
for interchanging messages between asymmetric processors.

+title: ASPEED AST2700 mailbox controller

+
+description:
+  ASPEED AST2700 has multiple processors that need to communicate with each
+  other. The mailbox controller provides a way for these processors to send
+  messages to each other. It is a hardware-based inter-processor communication
+  mechanism that allows processors to send and receive messages through
+  dedicated channels.
+  The mailbox's tx/rx are independent, meaning that one processor can send a
+  message while another processor is receiving a message simultaneously.
+  There are 4 channels available for both tx and rx operations. Each channel
+  has a FIFO buffer that can hold messages of a fixed size (32 bytes in this
+  case).
+  The mailbox controller also supports interrupt generation, allowing
+  processors to notify each other when a message is available or when an event
+  occurs.
+
