[PATCH 0/2] ARM: OMAP: mailbox out of plat code

[PATCH 0/2] ARM: OMAP: mailbox out of plat code

[Omar Ramirez Luna]

From: Omar Ramirez Luna <omar.ramirez@copitl.com>

Move Mailbox's headers and driver out of platform code as
per current plat-omap cleanup activities.

While at it move mailbox code out of platform and to drivers/
folder, given that this is an OMAP specific framework, some people
might frown upon this, however it seemed worth to try to move it now.
I was expecting this could also pull out the mailbox code from
ux-500 platform, but the platform with a similar mailbox mechanism
has been deleted during 3.5 rc cycle.

So, are there any other mailbox-like drivers out there?

[PATCH 2/2] mailbox: OMAP: introduce mailbox framework

[Omar Ramirez Luna]

Actually moving it from plat-omap code as this is supposed to be
under drivers/ folder. This framework should work with the current
OMAP processors that have mailbox and can be used as a method of
interprocessor communication.

Re: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: OMAP2+: move mailbox.h out of plat-omap headers

Hi,

This file should only contain pure platform data needed
by the core omap code to pass to the mailbox driver.

The mailbox API header should be somewhere else,
like include/linux/mailbox/mailbox-omap.h or similar.

But shouldn't this all now be handled by using the
remoteproc framework?

Ok, looking at it closely, this header file is related to the API
itself, there is nothing that could be actually considered as pure
platform data, the structures are related with the mailbox framework
and even if I split this file into two, the additional header would
end up including the "platform_data" header unless I move
save/restore_ctx functions and then export them as symbols for the
API.

So, it might be better for the entire file to sit in
linux/include/mailbox/ then.

Ok.

Remoteproc doesn't handle the mailbox hardware directly, it still
relies in the mailbox framework for the low level communications.
E.g.: Proc1 has a message (virtqueue msg) queued to Proc2, uses
mailbox msg to generate an interrupt to Proc2, Proc2 queries the
message (virtqueue) based on the mailbox message received.

OK to me.

OK.

Greg, do these patches look OK to you to move to live under
drivers/mailbox?

Um, I don't know, I wasn't paying attention here, sorry.

As part of plat-omap code cleanup, I was planning to move omap-mailbox
framework to a newly drivers/mailbox folder, right now this code is
specific to OMAP platforms, but with some clean up it could be the
base for a generic framework. And living under drivers/mailbox could
give it some exposure for interested developers to give feedback and
propose changes.

In the past there was a mailbox-like driver in mach-ux500, I was
hoping both could live under the same folder, however the platform
using it, was dropped a couple of kernel releases back and with it the
other similar mailbox implementation.

So, here it is the thread with the patches:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1384603, if you think it is
OK for them to be moved under drivers/mailbox, I just need to re-spin
them to move the mailbox header file to include/linux/mailbox instead
of include/linux/platform_data.

Cheers,

Omar

On STE side, we are working on a mailbox driver which will rely on 
mailbox framework.
However some modifications in current Omap mailbox framework are needed 
to fit STE HW specificities.
- API naming should be generic (replace omap prefix by mailbox)
- message type should be enhanced
- fifo mechanism is linked to Omap maibox, not needed in STE case since 
it relies on cross interrupt + shared memory
I already have modifications I'll send you to see how we can create a 
common and generic mailbox framework.

OK cool. How about Omar first posts the fixed minimal patches
to move things to live under drivers so can fix up omap for
ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM?

I can then put just those into an immutable branch that people
can pull in as needed, and you guys can continue from there with
the common mailbox framework (and I can continue work on the
core omap code independently of the mailbox framwork work).

Tony
