You mean channel number as following?
@@ -37,10 +38,10 @@ static int arm_smc_send_data(struct mbox_chan *link, void *data)
function_id = cmd->a0;
if (chan_data->flags & ARM_SMC_MBOX_USE_HVC)
- arm_smccc_hvc(function_id, cmd->a1, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4,
+ arm_smccc_hvc(function_id, chan_data->chan_id, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4,
cmd->a5, cmd->a6, cmd->a7, &res);
else
- arm_smccc_smc(function_id, cmd->a1, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4,
+ arm_smccc_smc(function_id, chan_data->chan_id, cmd->a2, cmd->a3, cmd->a4,
cmd->a5, cmd->a6, cmd->a7, &res);
Or should that be passed from firmware driver?
If not from firmware driver, just as above, I do not have a good idea which should be passed to smc,
from cmd->a1 to a5 or from cmd->a2 to a6.

Peng.
