1Xilinx IPI Mailbox Controller
2========================================
3
4The Xilinx IPI(Inter Processor Interrupt) mailbox controller is to manage
5messaging between two Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC IPI agents. Each IPI
6agent owns registers used for notification and buffers for message.

30Controller Device Node:
31===========================
32Required properties:
33--------------------
34IPI agent node:
35- compatible:		Shall be: "xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-mailbox"
36- interrupt-parent:	Phandle for the interrupt controller
37- interrupts:		Interrupt information corresponding to the
38			interrupt-names property.
39- xlnx,ipi-id:		local Xilinx IPI agent ID
40- #address-cells:	number of address cells of internal IPI mailbox nodes
41- #size-cells:		number of size cells of internal IPI mailbox nodes
42
43Internal IPI mailbox node:
44- reg:			IPI buffers address ranges
45- reg-names:		Names of the reg resources. It should have:
46			* local_request_region
47			  - IPI request msg buffer written by local and read
48			    by remote
49			* local_response_region
50			  - IPI response msg buffer written by local and read
51			    by remote
52			* remote_request_region
53			  - IPI request msg buffer written by remote and read
54			    by local
55			* remote_response_region
56			  - IPI response msg buffer written by remote and read
57			    by local
58- #mbox-cells:		Shall be 1. It contains:
59			* tx(0) or rx(1) channel
60- xlnx,ipi-id:		remote Xilinx IPI agent ID of which the mailbox is
61			connected to.
62
63Optional properties:
64--------------------
65- method:              The method of accessing the IPI agent registers.
66                       Permitted values are: "smc" and "hvc". Default is
67                       "smc".
68
69Client Device Node:
70===========================
71Required properties:
72--------------------
73- mboxes:		Standard property to specify a mailbox
74			(See ./mailbox.txt)
75- mbox-names:		List of identifier  strings for each mailbox
76			channel.
