1Broadcom FlexRM Ring Manager 2============================ 3The Broadcom FlexRM ring manager provides a set of rings which can be 4used to submit work to offload engines. An SoC may have multiple FlexRM 5hardware blocks. There is one device tree entry per FlexRM block. The 6FlexRM driver will create a mailbox-controller instance for given FlexRM 7hardware block where each mailbox channel is a separate FlexRM ring. 8 9Required properties: 10-------------------- 11- compatible: Should be "brcm,iproc-flexrm-mbox" 12- reg: Specifies base physical address and size of the FlexRM 13 ring registers 14- msi-parent: Phandles (and potential Device IDs) to MSI controllers 15 The FlexRM engine will send MSIs (instead of wired 16 interrupts) to CPU. There is one MSI for each FlexRM ring. 17 Refer devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/msi.txt 18- #mbox-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode a mailbox 19 channel. This should be 3. 20 21 The 1st cell is the mailbox channel number. 22 23 The 2nd cell contains MSI completion threshold. This is the 24 number of completion messages for which FlexRM will inject 25 one MSI interrupt to CPU. 26 27 The 3nd cell contains MSI timer value representing time for 28 which FlexRM will wait to accumulate N completion messages 29 where N is the value specified by 2nd cell above. If FlexRM 30 does not get required number of completion messages in time 31 specified by this cell then it will inject one MSI interrupt 32 to CPU provided at least one completion message is available. 33 34Optional properties: 35-------------------- 36- dma-coherent: Present if DMA operations made by the FlexRM engine (such 37 as DMA descriptor access, access to buffers pointed by DMA 38 descriptors and read/write pointer updates to DDR) are 39 cache coherent with the CPU. 40 41Example: 42-------- 43crypto_mbox: mbox@67000000 { 44 compatible = "brcm,iproc-flexrm-mbox"; 45 reg = <0x67000000 0x200000>; 46 msi-parent = <&gic_its 0x7f00>; 47 #mbox-cells = <3>; 48}; 49 50crypto@672c0000 { 51 compatible = "brcm,spu2-v2-crypto"; 52 reg = <0x672c0000 0x1000>; 53 mboxes = <&crypto_mbox 0 0x1 0xffff>, 54 <&crypto_mbox 1 0x1 0xffff>, 55 <&crypto_mbox 16 0x1 0xffff>, 56 <&crypto_mbox 17 0x1 0xffff>, 57 <&crypto_mbox 30 0x1 0xffff>, 58 <&crypto_mbox 31 0x1 0xffff>; 59}; 60
