[PATCH v5 0/2] Add initial ARM MHUv3 mailbox support

[Cristian Marussi]

Hi,

This series adds support for the new ARM Message Handling Unit v3 mailbox
controller [1].

The ARM MHUv3 can optionally support various extensions, enabling the
usage of different transport protocols.

Patch [2/2] adds a platform driver which, as of now, provides support only
for the Doorbell extension using the combined interrupt.

On the other side, bindings in [1/2] are introduced for all the extensions
described by the specification, as long as they are of interest to an
entity running from Normal world, like Linux: as such, Doorbell, FIFO and
FastChannel extensions are documented.

In these regards, note that the ARM MHUv3 controller can optionally
implement a considerable number of interrupts to express a great deal of
events and many of such interrupts are defined as being per-channel: with
the total maximum amount of possibly implemented channels across all
extensions being 1216 (1024+128+64), it would mean *a lot* of
interrupt-names to enumerate in the bindings.

For the sake of simplicity the binding as of now only introduces interrupt
names for a mere 8-channels in the range (0,7) for each per-channel
interrupt type: the idea is to leave open the possibility to add more to
this list of numbered items only when (and if) new real HW appears that
effectively needs more than 8 channels. (like AMBA, where the maximum
number of IRQ was progressively increased when needed, AFAIU).

Based on v6.9-rc1, tested on ARM TCS23 [2]
(TCS23 reference SW stack is still to be made fully publicly available)

Thanks,
Cristian

v4 -> v5
- changed Kconfig to depend on just OF && HAS_IOMEM
- fixed LLVM warnings on FIELD_PREP and missing slab.h as reported-by <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
v3 -> v4
 - avoid magic numbers for regs padding holes
 - renaming various enums terminators to count_ instead of max_
 - using scoped_guards for spinlock_save
 - dropping FIRST_EXT naming for 0-indexed enum
 - reduce indentation by using early returns or continue on failure-paths
 - use dev_err_probe where appropriate
 - be less noisy with dev_dbg
 - refactored mhuv3_mbx_comb_interrupt using __free cleanups for .read_data
 - refactored doorbell lookups with scoped_guards
 - fail on IRQ request failures: do not carry-on best effort
 - drop usage of platform_set_drvdata and .remove in favour of
   devm_add_action_or_reset
 - review failures handling on extensions initialization
 - removed name clashes
 - more comments on regs decorations
 - decreasing line-lengths definitions
 - use __ffs instead of __builtin_ctz
 - dropped used of bitfields in favour of bitmasks
 - reading implementer/revision/variant/product_id
 - fixed a few misspellings
 - DT: using ARM GIC defines in example
 - DT: defined MHUv3 Extensions types in new file dt-bindings/arm/mhuv3-dt.h
v2 -> v3
 - fixed spurious tabs/spaces in DT binding
v1 -> v2
 - clarified DT bindings extension descriptions around configurability
   and discoverability
 - removed unused labels from the DT example
 - using pattern properties to define DT interrupt-names
 - bumped DT interrupt maxItems to 74 (allowing uo to 8 channels per extension)
 - fixed checkpatch warnings about side-effects on write/read bitfield macros
 - fixed sparse errors as reported
