2015-06-11mailbox: Add ability for clients to request channels by nameLee Jones1-0/+2
This patch supplies a new framework API; mbox_request_channel_byname(). It works by supplying the usual client pointer as the first argument and a string as the second. The API will search the client's node for a 'mbox-names' property then request a channel in the normal way using the requested string's index as the expected second 'index' argument.

2014-11-27mailbox: add tx_prepare client callbackSudeep Holla1-0/+3
If the mailbox controller expects the payload is in place before initiating the transmit, then it's impossible to reuse the list maintained by core mailbox code currently. Maintaining another list for sending the message in the controller seems totally unnecessary as core mailbox library already provides that feature. This patch introduces tx_prepare callback in mbox_client which can be used by the core mailbox library before initiating the transaction through mbox->ops->send_data. The client driver can implement this callback to ensure the payload is copied to the shared memory.

2014-10-08mailbox: Introduce framework for mailboxJassi Brar1-0/+46
Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC). Client driver developers should have a look at include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of the API exposed to client drivers. Similarly controller driver developers should have a look at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h Reviewed-by: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@linaro.org>
