Hi Lee, Jassi,

Assuming mailbox-test was designed to be generic, I am trying to extend
it to support single channel with separate Tx and Rx buffer. With these
changes I am able to test arm_mhu driver. However I couldn't understand
the intention of converting buffer to ASCII hex dump in read method.
I have a local change to remove that so that it can deal with any data
in any format(e.g. some protocol format) and userspace can deal with the
actual interpretation of the data. Let me know your thoughts on that.


Can you review this ? It would be good to get this in for v4.6

Seems simple enough. So once you and Lee are in sync...


That was quick :). Anyways IIUC Lee agrees with most of the changes.

The question I am asking is not part of this series, I didn't make the
change to remove hexdump yet, I am trying to understand the reasoning
for doing that and also explaining my requirement as why I want to
remove it.
