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.

Pachset based on i.MX Shawn's for-next branch, commit fd7eba9fa1f534b710.

To test this patchset, I applied the below diff:

Add fsl,scu property, this needs to be enabled for SCU channel type.

Per i.MX8QXP Reference mannual, Chapter "12.9.2.3.2 Messaging Examples",
 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;
 the message’s first three words are written to the registers whose
 interrupt is masked, and the fourth word is written to the other
 register (which triggers an interrupt at the receiver side).

i.MX8/8X SCU firmware IPC is an implementation of passing short
messages. But current imx-mailbox driver only support one word
message, i.MX8/8X linux side firmware has to request four TX
and four RX to support IPC to SCU firmware. This is low efficent
and more interrupts triggered compared with one TX and
one RX.

To make SCU channel type work,
  - parse the size of msg.
  - Only enable TR0/RR0 interrupt for transmit/receive message.

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>

Current imx-scu requires four TX and four RX to communicate with
SCU. This is low efficient and causes lots of mailbox interrupts.

With imx-mailbox driver could support one TX to use all four transmit
registers and one RX to use all four receive registers, imx-scu
could use one TX and one RX.

Hm.. what you are doing is a "link aggregation" with round-robin scheduling:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

I would be happy if we can define a generic mailbox property for this.

Kind regards,

From RM, one of the MU using example.
12.9.2.3.2 Messaging Examples
The following are messaging examples:
• 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; the message’s first three words are written to the registers whose
interrupt is masked, and the fourth word is written to the other register (which
triggers an interrupt at the receiver side).

So we could define flexible channel, but not restricted only one TR0 or RR0 register.

And SCFW SCU side IPC is using "Passing short messages" method.

Due to SCFW message is not fixed length, driver has to parse the msg header
to know how many to transmit and how many to receive.

Any suggestions? I am thinking mbox_send_message_size with an extra
size parameter from firmware client side. But not have good idea
on rx.

Thanks,
Peng.

What's the type for this?

Perhaps update the example.
