| 2 | |
| 3 | The HSP modules are used for the processors to share resources and communicate |
| 4 | together. It provides a set of hardware synchronization primitives for |
| 5 | interprocessor communication. So the interprocessor communication (IPC) |
| 6 | protocols can use hardware synchronization primitives, when operating between |
| 7 | two processors not in an SMP relationship. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The features that HSP supported are shared mailboxes, shared semaphores, |
| 10 | arbitrated semaphores and doorbells. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Required properties: |
| 13 | - name : Should be hsp |
| 14 | - compatible |
| 15 | Array of strings. |
| 16 | one of: |
| 17 | - "nvidia,tegra186-hsp" |
| 18 | - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device. |
| 19 | - interrupt-names |
| 20 | Array of strings. |
| 21 | Contains a list of names for the interrupts described by the interrupt |
| 22 | property. May contain the following entries, in any order: |
| 23 | - "doorbell" |
| 24 | Users of this binding MUST look up entries in the interrupt property |
| 25 | by name, using this interrupt-names property to do so. |
| 26 | - interrupts |
| 27 | Array of interrupt specifiers. |
| 28 | Must contain one entry per entry in the interrupt-names property, |
| 29 | in a matching order. |
| 30 | - #mbox-cells : Should be 2. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | The mbox specifier of the "mboxes" property in the client node should |
| 33 | contain two data. The first one should be the HSP type and the second |
| 34 | one should be the ID that the client is going to use. Those information |
| 35 | can be found in the following file. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - <dt-bindings/mailbox/tegra186-hsp.h>. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Example: |
| 40 | |
| 41 | hsp_top0: hsp@3c00000 { |
| 42 | compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-hsp"; |
| 43 | reg = <0x0 0x03c00000 0x0 0xa0000>; |
| 44 | interrupts = <GIC_SPI 176 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; |
| 45 | interrupt-names = "doorbell"; |
| 46 | #mbox-cells = <2>; |
| 47 | }; |
| 48 | |
| 49 | client { |
| 50 | ... |
| 51 | mboxes = <&hsp_top0 HSP_MBOX_TYPE_DB HSP_DB_MASTER_XXX>; |
| 52 | }; |
