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
Changes since last internal RFC:
* no functional change
* extended parts of the binding description
* reworded parts of commit messages
* dual licence the dt-binding header
* dropped unneeded Kconfig dependency on HWSPINLOCK
* rebased to linux-next as of 20260316

These are flags as the documentation for the #mbox-cells property in the bindings file states, to be ORed. E.g. include/dt-bindings/i2c/i2c.h and include/dt-bindings/i3c/i3c.h also use shifts to make this clear. include/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h uses "Bit N express ..." comments instead.

The family would be "rcar-gen5". It was a close call where to put this paragraph.

And this was the conclusion because the IP core *is* kind of a "dumping ground". This paragraph currently might be biased by what we want support in Linux as of now, like mailboxes and hwspinlock and product register. But it actually can have more like boot status, error injection, error detection... and who knows what will be added in the future. Since DT is HW description, I will update this paragraph to mention the extra MFIS features even if there is no Linux support planned. > > + reg: > > + minItems: 2 > > Drop Ack. > > + description: > > + An interrupt name is constructed with the prefix 'ch'.

It is not flexible. The interrupts are static and so should be the naming. The above paragraph aims to describe that. Let me cite part of the example for "renesas,r8a78000-mfis" from below where all interrupts (triggered by both, the IICR/EICR registers) are routed to the AP core interrupt controller. Note the alternating 'i/e' pattern: interrupt-names = "ch0i", "ch0e", "ch1i", "ch1e", "ch2i", "ch2e", "ch3i", "ch3e", "ch4i", "ch4e", "ch5i", "ch5e", "ch6i", "ch6e", "ch7i", "ch7e", ... In comparison, "renesas,r8a78000-mfis-scp" where only the interrupts triggered by the IICR register are routed to the AP (the EICR interrupts are routed to the firmware controller). 'i' pattern only: interrupt-names = "ch0i", "ch1i", "ch2i", "ch3i", "ch4i", "ch5i", "ch6i", "ch7i", "ch8i", "ch9i", "ch10i", "ch11i", "ch12i", "ch13i", "ch14i", "ch15i", ... I think the above description is technically correct. Maybe it is not easy to understand, though. One improvement I could think of: add the SCP case to the example section as well, so the difference is more obvious. Note: I decided to use 'pattern:' for describing the interrupt-names to avoid 128 const entries for the IICR/EICR case, and 64 const entries per IICR-only or EICR-only case. > > +examples: > > + - | > > + #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/arm-gic.h> > > + mfis: syscon@189e0000 { > > Drop label and rename node - that's not syscon. Yes to drop label. Not sure about renaming the node. Given the above of the "dumping ground IP core", it is way more of a syscon than of a mailbox controller. If there is a better common name of such a device, I don't know of it and couldn't find it when grepping around. "remoteproc" might be somewhat closer but still... > > diff --git a/include/dt-bindings/mailbox/renesas,r8a78000-mfis.h b/include/dt-bindings/mailbox/renesas,r8a78000-mfis.h > > new file mode 100644 > > index 000000000000..89489c2a4847 > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/include/dt-bindings/mailbox/renesas,r8a78000-mfis.h I am wondering now if this is the right place for the include file. My original intention was that it should go to the mailbox-dir because it handles only the mailbox-part (second #mbox-cell) of the MFIS. But maybe all-in-one is better?

Shifting this > implies there is some other logic and that would mean - not a binding. I'll give in and do it. Using fixed numbers instead of bit numbers sounds more error prone to me, though. But we don't need to discuss this, I'll adapt. And I will change the $subject, too.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "binding documentation". The "dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings and documentation.

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. Signed-off-by: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com> --- This driver is already prepared for upcoming r8a78001 support which will break away from the IICR/EICR register pair.

Sorry, I still don't get it: If 'chan_num' has been sanitized above to be in the range of 0..priv->info->mb_num_channels - 1, then how can a OOB happen here? "chan += mbox->num_chans / 2" only happens when 'mb_reg_comes_from_dt' is set. But when it is set, the array of chans is also always doubled to have the "<n> IICR, then <n> EICR" layout.

Sorry, you are right. I guess I was thinking the flags specified in DT could cause an invalid index doubling, but those can indeed not happen due to the priv->info->mb_* flag checks.

So, I checked what Sashiko thinks of my series and found the comments to be largely reasonable. I'll copy and answer them here, a) for a more complete review process and b) to give feedback to the Sashiko-devs (CCed). Thank you for the service and efforts, I hope we can justify the additional energy consumption here.

Yes, it can. It even needs a hwspinlock instead of a regular spinlock because it needs protection against cores which may not run Linux. hwspinlock support will only be added later because of dependency issues. My plan was to add the protection once we got hwspinlocks. But maybe I should add just spinlocks now and convert them to hwspinlocks once their support is in. > > +static void mfis_mb_shutdown(struct mbox_chan *chan) > > +{ > > + struct mfis_per_chan_priv *per_chan_priv = chan->con_priv; > > + > > + free_irq(per_chan_priv->irq, chan); > > +} > Since mfis_mb_of_xlate() skips interrupt lookup for transmit-only channels, > leaving per_chan_priv->irq as 0, and mfis_mb_startup() guards the request > with if (per_chan_priv->irq), will this unconditional free_irq() trigger a > kernel warning when shutting down a transmit-only channel? Yes, I seemed to remember that free_irq() can handle this, but it will in-deed trigger a warning.

So far we always assumed of_device_get_match_data() cannot return NULL if all match table entries have their .data members filled in. However, you can indeed still trigger this by using driver_override to bind to the wrong device, which obviously has no match entry at all: On Salvator-XS: # echo fe960000.vsp > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/vsp1/unbind # echo renesas_spi > /sys/bus/platform/devices/fe960000.vsp/driver_override # echo fe960000.vsp > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/renesas_spi/bind BOOM!

Or is that impossible due to locking elsewhere? Haven't encountered that yet.

I tend to say: yes. On the one hand, using "driver_override" is a you-better-know-what-you-do command. On the other hand, failing gracefully is not hard to do and not much code.
