+GPIO RPMSG (Remote Processor Messaging) Protocol
+================================================
+
+The GPIO RPMSG transport protocol is used for communication and interaction
+with GPIO controllers on remote processors via the RPMSG bus.
+
+Message Format
+--------------
+
+The out message to the remote consists of a 8-byte packet with the
+following layout:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
+   | 0x00 | 0x01 | 0x02 | 0x03 | 0x04 | 0x05 | 0x06 | 0x07 |
+   |     cmd     |    line     |           value           |
+   +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
+
+- **cmd**: Little endian. Command type.
+
+- **line**: Little endian. The GPIO line (pin) index.
+
+- **value**: Little endian. See details in the command description below.
+
+
+The in message from the remote has the following layout:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   +------+--------+--------+
+   | 0x00 |  0x01  |  0x02  |
+   | type |     payload     |
+   +------+--------+--------+
+
+- **type**: Message types.
+  - 0: Command reply messages.
+  - 1: Interrupt messages.
+
+- **payload**: See details below.
+
+GPIO Commands
+-------------
+
+Commands are specified in the **Cmd** field.
+
+The SEND message is always sent from Linux to the remote firmware. Each
+SEND corresponds to a single REPLY message. The GPIO driver should
+serialize messages and determine whether a REPLY message is required. If a
+REPLY message is expected but not received within the specified timeout
+period (currently 1 second in the Linux driver), the driver should return
+-ETIMEDOUT.

+Interrupt Messages
+------------------
+
+Interrupt messages are sent by the remote core and they have
+**Type=1 (GPIO_RPMSG_NOTIFY)**:
+
+When a GPIO line asserts an interrupt on the remote processor, the firmware
+should immediately mask the corresponding interrupt source and send a
+notification message to the Linux. Upon completion of the interrupt
+handling on the Linux side, the driver should issue a
+command **SET_IRQ_TYPE** to the firmware to unmask the interrupt.

+- **line**: Little endian. The GPIO line (pin) index.
