As of now only one mailbox agent is supported by mailbox driver.
On zynqmp platform there are about 7 mailbox agents which can communicate
over same IPI channel to U-Boot. This patch series introduces new
"zynqmp_ipi_dest" driver which adds one to multi-channel mailbox
support.
Following format in device-tree is expected as per latest bindings:
zynqmp-ipi {
compatible = "xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-mailbox";
mbox_1: mailbox@1 {
/* New compatible for child node */
compatible = "xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-dest-mailbox";
...
};
...
mbox_n: mailbox@n {
compatible = "xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-dest-mailbox";
...
}
};
Then mailbox client uses child mailbox node as following:
ipi-dest-1 {
...
mboxes = <mbox_1 0>, <mbox_1 1>;
mbox-names = "tx", "rx";
...
};
New "zynqmp_ipi_dest" driver is for devices with
"xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-dest-mailbox" compatible string. This driver will take care
of mailbox send recv ops and it replaces previous "zynqmp_ipi" driver.
Now "zynqmp_ipi" driver simply binds each child device with "zynqmp_ipi_dest"
driver.
However, its important to maintain backward comaptibility with previous
bindings where child node does not have compatible string. In such case, new
driver isn't probed by U-Boot during boot and system fails to boot. To
resolve this issue firmware-zynqmp.c driver probes all the IPI parent node
driver which binds each child node device with "zynqmp_ipi_dest" driver.
This makes sure corresponding child driver will be
probed when requested using mbox_get_by_name or mbox_get_by_idx
framework calls.
This way multiple mailbox agents are supported in device-tree without breaking
previous binding support.
