12description:
13  The Global Command Engine (GCE) is an instruction based, multi-threaded,
14  single-core command dispatcher for MediaTek hardware. The Command Queue
15  (CMDQ) mailbox driver is a driver for GCE, implemented using the Linux
16  mailbox framework. It is used to receive messages from mailbox consumers
17  and configure GCE to execute the specified instruction set in the message.
18  We use mediatek,gce-mailbox.yaml to define the properties for CMDQ mailbox
19  driver. A device driver that uses the CMDQ driver to configure its hardware
20  registers is a mailbox consumer. The mailbox consumer can request a mailbox
21  channel corresponding to a GCE hardware thread to send a message, specifying
22  that the GCE thread to configure its hardware. The mailbox provider can also
23  reserve a mailbox channel to configure GCE hardware register by the specific
24  GCE thread. This binding defines the common GCE properties for both mailbox
25  provider and consumers.

28  mediatek,gce-events:
29    description:
30      GCE has an event table in SRAM, consisting of 1024 event IDs (0~1023).
31      Each event ID has a boolean event value with the default value 0.
32      The property mediatek,gce-events is used to obtain the event IDs.
33      Some gce-events are hardware-bound and cannot be changed by software.
34      For instance, in MT8195, when VDO0_MUTEX is stream done, VDO_MUTEX will
35      send an event signal to GCE, setting the value of event ID 597 to 1.
36      Similarly, in MT8188, the value of event ID 574 will be set to 1 when
37      VOD0_MUTEX is stream done.
38      On the other hand, some gce-events are not hardware-bound and can be
39      changed by software. For example, in MT8188, we can set the value of
40      event ID 855, which is not bound to any hardware, to 1 when the driver
41      in the secure world completes a task. However, in MT8195, event ID 855
42      is already bound to VDEC_LAT1, so we need to select another event ID to
43      achieve the same purpose. This event ID can be any ID that is not bound
44      to any hardware and is not yet used in any software driver.
45      To determine if the event ID is bound to the hardware or used by a
46      software driver, refer to the GCE header
47      include/dt-bindings/gce/<chip>-gce.h of each chip.
