13description: |
14  The Arm Message Handling Unit (MHU) Version 2 is a mailbox controller that has
15  between 1 and 124 channel windows (each 32-bit wide) to provide unidirectional
16  communication with remote processor(s), where the number of channel windows
17  are implementation dependent.
18
19  Given the unidirectional nature of the controller, an MHUv2 mailbox may only
20  be written to or read from. If a pair of MHU controllers is implemented
21  between two processing elements to provide bidirectional communication, these
22  must be specified as two separate mailboxes.
23
24  If the interrupts property is present in device tree node, then its treated as
25  a "receiver" mailbox, otherwise a "sender".
26
27  An MHU controller must be specified along with the supported transport
28  protocols. The transport protocols determine the method of data transmission
29  as well as the number of provided mailbox channels.
30
31  Following are the possible transport protocols.
32
33  - Data-transfer: Each transfer is made of one or more words, using one or more
34    channel windows.
35
36  - Doorbell: Each transfer is made up of single bit flag, using any one of the
37    bits in a channel window. A channel window can support up to 32 doorbells
38    and the entire window shall be used in doorbell protocol.  Optionally, data
39    may be transmitted through a shared memory region, wherein the MHU is used
40    strictly as an interrupt generation mechanism but that is out of the scope
41    of these bindings.

85    description: |
86      The MHUv2 controller may contain up to 124 channel windows (each 32-bit
87      wide). The hardware and the DT bindings allows any combination of those to
88      be used for various transport protocols.
89
90      This property allows a platform to describe how these channel windows are
91      used in various transport protocols. The entries in this property shall be
92      present as an array of tuples, where each tuple describes details about
93      one of the transport protocol being implemented over some channel
94      window(s).
95
96      The first field of a tuple signifies the transfer protocol, 0 is reserved
97      for doorbell protocol, and 1 is reserved for data-transfer protocol.
98      Using any other value in the first field of a tuple makes it invalid.
99
100      The second field of a tuple signifies the number of channel windows where
101      the protocol would be used and should be set to a non zero value. For
102      doorbell protocol this field signifies the number of 32-bit channel
103      windows that implement the doorbell protocol. For data-transfer protocol,
104      this field signifies the number of 32-bit channel windows that implement
105      the data-transfer protocol.
106
107      The total number of channel windows specified here shouldn't be more than
108      the ones implemented by the platform, though one can specify lesser number
109      of windows here than what the platform implements.

115      }
116
117      The above example defines the protocols of an ARM MHUv2 mailbox
118      controller, where a total of 15 channel windows are used. The first two
119      windows are used in doorbell protocol (64 doorbells), followed by 1, 5 and
120      7 windows (separately) used in data-transfer protocol.

133      It is always set to 2. The first argument in the consumers 'mboxes'
134      property represents the channel window group, which may be used in
135      doorbell, or data-transfer protocol, and the second argument (only
136      relevant in doorbell protocol, should be 0 otherwise) represents the
137      doorbell number within the 32 bit wide channel window.
138
139      From the example given above for arm,mhuv2-protocols, here is how a client
140      node can reference them.
