Hi,

This series adds support for the "hardware message box" in recent
Allwinner sunxi SoCs, used for communication with the ARISC management
processor (the platform's equivalent of the ARM SCP). The end goal is to
use the arm_scpi driver as a client, communicating with firmware running
on the ARISC CPU.

This driver has been tested with the base arm_scpi driver (which sends
the SCPI_CMD_SCPI_CAPABILITIES command at probe time) and an in-progress
firmware application running on the ARISC CPU. Because no firmware for
the other end of the mailbox is complete at the moment, I have not
included changes to the SoC device trees.
This is not directly related to this series, but what is your end goal
with regard to SCPI? What features do you expect to have there?

I'm asking because last time we discussed this, SCPI wasn't able to
abstract all the features the PMIC provides, and thus Linux needed to
still be able to access it.

Thanks!
Maxime
