Introduce mailbox controller driver for ZynqMP IPI(Inter-processor
interrupt) IP core.

As the device tree bindings have been updated. Do not have "Reviewed-by"
nor "Acked-by" in the dt-bindings commit.

v4:
 - make IPI mailboxes as subnodes to the IPI agent device node to properly
   describe the hardware.

v3:
 - add NULL entry to of_device_id of IPI controller

v2:
 - change SPDX-License-Identifier license text style in .c file
 - replace xlnx-ipi-ids with xlnx,ipi-ids

This patch is to introduce ZynqMP IPI mailbox controller driver
to use the ZynqMP IPI block as mailboxes.

+Xilinx IPI Mailbox Controller
+========================================
+
+The Xilinx IPI(Inter Processor Interrupt) mailbox controller is to manage
+messaging between two Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC IPI agents. Each IPI
+agent owns registers used for notification and buffers for message.

You are mixing the hardware messaging based mailbox and the software
"smc/hvc" based mailbox together here. Please keep them separated.
IIUC smc/hvc based mailcox is used for "tx" or too keep it simple in
one direction and hardware based is used for "rx" or the other direction
for communication.

You *should not* mix them as single unit. Also lots of other vendor need
SMC/HVC based mailbox. So make it generic and keep it separate.

Hi Sudeep,

Thanks for your comments.

The IPI hardware block has both buffers and registers. The hardware
block has dedicated
buffers for each mailboxes, and thus, in the implementation, we directly access
the buffers from IPI driver. However, the controller registers are
shared between
mailboxes in the hardware, as the ATF will also access the registers,
we need to use
SMC/HVC to access the registers (control or ISR). And the SMC/HVC here is for
the register access.

I am not clear on smc/hvc based mailbox is used for tx, and hardware
based is used
for  "rx". As for both TX and RX, we need to write/read the registers
(through SMC) and
write/read the buffers provided by the IPI hardware block directly.

Thanks,
Wendy

[Wendy] Hi Sudeep,

The SMC/HVC is for hardware registers access as but not sending messages.
Do you have further comments or are you fine with the explanation?

Thanks,
Wendy
