Changes since v1 are in the patch descriptions.
Renesas R-Car MFIS offers multiple features but most importantly
mailboxes and hwspinlocks. Because they share a common register space
and a common register unprotection mechanism, a single driver was chosen
to handle all dependencies. (MFD and auxiliary bus have been tried as
well, but they failed because of circular dependencies.)
In this first step, the driver implements common register access and a
mailbox controller. hwspinlock support will be added incrementally, once
the subsystem allows out-of-directory drivers (patches already under
review). This driver has been tested on a Renesas Ironhide board (R-Car
X5H) and is able to communicate with the SCP via mailboxes. Also, the
mailbox-test driver was used to confirm back-and-forth communication
between two application cores.
Because of its multifunctional nature, the driver lives in
drivers/soc/renesas. As large parts of these patches handle mailbox
support, review from mailbox expeirenced people is much appreciated.
A branch can be found here:

Thanks and happy hacking,
Wolfram

Document the Renesas Multifunctional Interface (MFIS) as found on the
Renesas R-Car X5H (r8a78000) SoC. MFIS includes features like Mailbox/HW
Spinlock/Product Register/Error Injection/Error Detection and the likes.
Family-compatible values are not introduced here because MFIS is usually
very different per SoC.

Still passes 'dt_binding_check'. Double-checked with some invalid DTs.
Thank you to Krzysztof and Geert for the review.
Changes since v1:
* moved header from 'mailbox' to 'soc' and fixed ifdef-guard
* handled interrupt numbers and patterns per compatible
(tried to remove minItems, didn't work.)
* extended descriptions
* in the header, explain that bits are ORable flags
(I hope that shifts are okay then? Like in other upstream examples)
* use "system-controller" instead of "syscon"
* dropped label from the example
* improved subject and commit message

+description:
+ The Renesas Multifunctional Interface (MFIS) provides various functionality
+ like mailboxes, hardware spinlocks, product identification, error injection,
+ error detection and such. Parts of it can be used for communication between
+ different CPU cores. Those cores can be in various domains like AP, RT, or
+ SCP. Often multiple domain-specific MFIS instances exist in one SoC.

Thank you to Geert and Marek for the review.
Changes since v1:
* sanitize input data (channel number from DT and match_data)
* add locking for the unprotection register
* suppress binding attributes
* refactor register calculation for chan_priv
* renamed variables from 'per_chan*' to 'chan*'
* check for valid irq before freeing
* refactored startup function to drop 'ret' variable
* proper sorting Makefile
* cosmetic changes (adding curly braces, beautified comments)
* use '+' instead of '|' for generating the unprotection value
* dropped a useless 'else' after return
* use %u for unsigned var
* move 'int i' into for-loop
* use devm when registering mailbox controller
* populate '*mreg' directly for optional resources

On this SoC, PRR is now inside the MFIS memory block, so we need to
access it similar to e.g. RZ/G2L.

No improvements and no answers to comments. Same review, drop, not a

I think I did. I explained above in "changes since v1" that I decided to
keep it because of the existing users in upstream that Geert mentioned.
Also, you have been added to CC to get the driver this time because you
were missing that in v1. So, what exactly is missing?
Happy hacking,
Wolfram
