[EXT] Re: [PATCH v2 0/7] *** firmware: imx: NXP Edgelock Enclave MUAP Driver ***

[Pankaj Gupta]

Hi Daniel,

As discussed already on your query,  answering to this, for everybody:

There is no existing NXP MU driver, that is up-streamed.
ele-mu driver is using(dependent on) the underline IMX_MBOX, driver you might be referring to.

Thanks.

Regards
Pankaj
