[PATCH V3 01/10] Documentation: dt-bindings: mailbox: tegra: Add binding for HSP mailbox

Add DT binding for the Hardware Synchronization Primitives (HSP). The
HSP is designed for the processors to share resources and communicate
together. It provides a set of hardware synchronization primitives for
interprocessor communication. So the interprocessor communication (IPC)
protocols can use hardware synchronization primitive, when operating
between two processors not in an SMP relationship.

Sorry. Please allow me just update the binding patches of this series.
Want to make sure the binding is acceptable first.
Thanks.

Changes in V3:
- use two cells for mboxes property
Changes in V2:
- revise the compatible string, interrupt-names, interrupts, and #mbox-cells
  properties
- remove "nvidia,hsp-function" property
- fix the header file name
- the binding supports the concept of multiple HSP sub-modules on one HSP HW
  block now.

+NVIDIA Tegra Hardware Synchronization Primitives (HSP)
+
+The HSP modules are used for the processors to share resources and communicate
+together. It provides a set of hardware synchronization primitives for
+interprocessor communication. So the interprocessor communication (IPC)
+protocols can use hardware synchronization primitives, when operating between
+two processors not in an SMP relationship.
+
+The features that HSP supported are shared mailboxes, shared semaphores,
+arbitrated semaphores and doorbells.
+
+Required properties:
+- name : Should be hsp
+- compatible
+    Array of strings.
+    one of:
+    - "nvidia,tegra186-hsp"
+- reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device.
+- interrupt-names
+    Array of strings.
+    Contains a list of names for the interrupts described by the interrupt
+    property. May contain the following entries, in any order:
+    - "doorbell"
+    Users of this binding MUST look up entries in the interrupt property
+    by name, using this interrupt-names property to do so.
+- interrupts
+    Array of interrupt specifiers.
+    Must contain one entry per entry in the interrupt-names property,
+    in a matching order.
+- #mbox-cells : Should be 2.
+
+The mbox specifier of the "mboxes" property in the client node should
+contain two data. The first one should be the HSP type and the second
+one should be the ID that the client is going to use. Those information
+can be found in the following file.
+
+- <dt-bindings/mailbox/tegra186-hsp.h>.
+
+Example:
+
+hsp_top0: hsp at 3c00000 {
+	compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-hsp";
+	reg = <0x0 0x03c00000 0x0 0xa0000>;
+	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 176 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+	interrupt-names = "doorbell";
+	#mbox-cells = <2>;
+};
+
+client {
+	...
+	mboxes = <&hsp_top0 HSP_MBOX_TYPE_DB HSP_DB_MASTER_XXX>;
+};
