[PATCH v2 0/2] soc: renesas: mfis: add R-Car V4H/V4M support

[Wolfram Sang]

Here are the additions to the MFIS driver in -next to add V4H support.
A full branch for testing with the SparrowHawk is here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux.git renesas/v4h/mfis

To trigger the mailbox-test instances, I use:

$ for f in /sys/kernel/debug/e6300*/message; do echo "Hallo $f!" > $f; done

Looking forward to comments!

Happy hacking,

   Wolfram

[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: soc: renesas: mfis: add R-Car V4H/V4M support

[Wolfram Sang]

The above SoCs have only 12 mailboxes and do not have an extra register
space for mailboxes. Everything is contained in the common register set.
In addition to adding these SoCs, the other entries get updated to
enforce 2 register spaces and their specific number of interrupts.

Any chance to get this into 7.2? All tags are there AFAICS.

Thanks and happy hacking,
