As Rob points out, maybe, don't we need also define it in user drivers. As the SRAM binding (misc/sram.txt) had defined. I just make the SCPI protocol client driver to work for mailbox.
Location and size of shared-memory is a platform property, mailbox controller doesn't need sram to function. For example, protocol on some platform, with this controller, may be trivial enough to not need a shared sram... say only 32-bits wide requests and responses which can be passed via mailbox registers directly. mbox_client.tx_prepare() is where the user driver sets up the shared-memory. _______________________________________________ Linux-rockchip mailing list Linux-rockchip-IAPFreCvJWM7uuMidbF8XUB+6BGkLq7r@public.gmane.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-rockchip
