Subject: [PATCH v4] dt-bindings: arm: keystone: add boot_* mboxes to ti,sci
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 11:45:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205-k3_syscon_add_boot_mailboxes-v4-1-8e216fb88941@ti.com> (raw)
The bootloader on K3 devices makes use of mailboxes as per the ROM spec
which might be different than one's available to the kernel (firmware
spec).
Therefore, this patch adds the missing mailbox entries to the DT binding
if the matching compatible is ti,am654-sci to represent the mailboxes
exposed by the hardware during boot for the purpose of loading the
firmware.

Changes in v4:
- Make new boot_* mboxes conditional on ti,am654-sci compatible
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251112-k3_syscon_add_boot_mailboxes-v3-1-66155a4236dc@ti.com
Changes in v3:
- Drop [1/2] of the last patch series
- Update existing example with boot_* mailboxes instead of adding a new one
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251112-k3_syscon_add_boot_mailboxes-v2-0-aebc1e47b391@ti.com
Changes in v2:
- Remove maxItems entry
- Remove RFC tag from patch (added by mistake in v1)
- Document the new mailboxes in mboxes instead of mbox-names
- Provide example with all the mailboxes set
- Update commit title to have "ti,sci"
- Split into two patches
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251111-k3_syscon_add_boot_mailboxes-v1-1-529a27f21076@ti.com
