Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] accel/neutron: Add mailbox support
Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2026 15:27:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306-neutron-v2-6-3019bd8c91ef@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306-neutron-v2-0-3019bd8c91ef@nxp.com>
The driver communicates with the Neutron firmware via eight
register-backed mailboxes. A subset of the mailbox registers are
used to pass commands from driver to Neutron, while the rest are
written by Neutron firmware with status/ack info.
