The MHU drives the signal using a 32-bit register, with all 32 bits
logically ORed together. The MHU provides a set of registers to enable
software to set, clear, and check the status of each of the bits of this
register independently. The use of 32 bits for each interrupt line
enables software to provide more information about the source of the
interrupt. For example, each bit of the register can be associated with
a type of event that can contribute to raising the interrupt.

This patch adds a separate the MHU controller driver for doorbel mode
of operation using the extended DT binding to add support the same.

<title>mailbox: Add support for Qualcomm IPCC</title>

<id>fa74a0257f45c5a92b82ae95c8455f06c598792f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for the Inter-Processor Communication Controller (IPCC)
block from Qualcomm that coordinates the interrupts (inbound &amp; outbound)
for Multiprocessor (MPROC), COMPUTE-Level0 (COMPUTE-L0) &amp; COMPUTE-Level1
(COMPUTE-L1) protocols for the Application Processor Subsystem (APSS).

This driver is modeled as an irqchip+mailbox driver. The irqchip part
helps in receiving the interrupts from the IPCC clients such as modems,
DSPs, PCI-E etc... and forwards them to respective entities in APSS.

On the other hand, the mailbox part is used to send interrupts to the IPCC
clients from the entities of APSS.

Allwinner sun6i, sun8i, sun9i, and sun50i SoCs contain a hardware
message box used for communication between the ARM CPUs and the ARISC
management coprocessor. This mailbox contains 8 unidirectional
4-message FIFOs.

Add a driver for it, so it can be used with the Linux mailbox framework.

This patch is first version of Mediatek Command Queue(CMDQ) driver. The
CMDQ is used to help write registers with critical time limitation,
such as updating display configuration during the vblank. It controls
Global Command Engine (GCE) hardware to achieve this requirement.
Currently, CMDQ only supports display related hardwares, but we expect
it can be extended to other hardwares for future requirements.

<content type='text'>
Hi3660 mailbox controller is used to send message within multiple
processors, MCU, HIFI, etc.  It supports 32 mailbox channels and every
channel can only be used for single transferring direction.  Once the
channel is enabled, it needs to specify the destination interrupt and
acknowledge interrupt, these two interrupt vectors are used to create
the connection between the mailbox and interrupt controllers.

The data transferring supports two modes, one is named as "automatic
acknowledge" mode so after send message the kernel doesn't need to wait
for acknowledge from remote and directly return; there have another mode
is to rely on handling interrupt for acknowledge.

This commit is for initial version driver, which only supports
"automatic acknowledge" mode to support CPU clock, which is the only
one consumer to use mailbox and has been verified.  Later may enhance
this driver for interrupt mode (e.g. for supporting HIFI).
