[PATCH V3 0/4] mailbox/firmware: imx: support SCU channel type

[peng . fan]

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@xxxxxxx>

V3:
 Rebase to Shawn's for-next
 Include fsl,imx8-mu-scu compatible
 Per Oleksij's comments, introduce generic tx/rx and added scu mu type
 Check fsl,imx8-mu-scu in firmware driver for fast_ipc

V2:
 Drop patch 1/3 which added fsl,scu property
 Force to use scu channel type when machine has node compatible "fsl,imx-scu"
 Force imx-scu to use fast_ipc

 I not found a generic method to make SCFW message generic enough, SCFW
 message is not fixed length including TX and RX. And it use TR0/RR0
 interrupt.

 It might need https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11395247/ to avoid
 build break.

V1:
Sorry to bind the mailbox/firmware patch together. This is make it
to understand what changed to support using 1 TX and 1 RX channel
for SCFW message.

Per i.MX8QXP Reference mannual, there are several message using
examples. One of them is:
Passing short messages: Transmit register(s) can be used to pass
short messages from one to four words in length. For example,
when a four-word message is desired, only one of the registers
needs to have its corresponding interrupt enable bit set at the
receiver side.

This patchset is to using this for SCFW message to replace four TX
and four RX method.

  mailbox: imx: restructure code to make easy for new MU
