[PATCH 0/8] Tegra Combined UART driver

Hi all,

on Tegra194, the primary console UART is the "Tegra Combined UART",
or TCU. This is a "virtual UART", where each consumer communicates
with a central implementation over mailboxes. The central
implementation then multiplexes the streams and arbitrates use of
a hardware serial port. This driver implements the consumer portion
to allow using the primary console.

The series is split into the following parts:
* patches 1 and 2 add the device tree bindings for mailbox and tcu
  itself.
* patch 3 adds a blocking transmission option to the mailbox
  framework.
* patches 4 and 5 add support for the "shared mailbox" primitive
  to the Tegra HSP driver.
* patch 6 adds the TCU driver itself
* patches 7 and 8 do the necessary device tree changes.

The series has been tested on the Tegra194 P2972 board.

Thanks,
Mikko
