+title: MediaTek Global Command Engine common propertes for both Mailbox Providers and Consumers.

+
+description:
+ The Global Command Engine (GCE) is used to implement a Command Queue (CMDQ)
+ driver using the Linux Mailbox framework. The GCE is an instruction based,
+ multi-threaded, single-core command dispatcher for MediaTek hardware.
+ We use GCE Mailbox binding to define GCE core properties for GCE Mailbox Provider.
+ A device that uses the CMDQ driver to confige its hardware registers by requesting
+ the Linux Mailbox Channels in the GCE Mailbox Controller is a Mailbox Consumer.
+ This binding defines the common GCE properties for both Mailbox Providers and Consumers.
+
+properties:
+ mediatek,gce-events:
+ description:
+ Each gce-events is an event id corresponding to a specific hardware event
+ signal sent to GCE. The event id is defined in the GCE header
+ include/dt-bindings/gce/<chip>-gce.h of each chips.
+ CMDQ client drivers have two usage of GCE event signals,
+ one is sfotware tokens and the other is hardware events.
+ Software tokens refer to GCE event signals triggered by drivers.
+ e.g. software drivers append GCE commands to set a GCE event after specific
+ GCE commands. Or CMDQ client driver uses the CPU to write the event id
+ into GCE register to trigger the GCE event corresponding to the event id.
+ Hardware events refer to GCE event signals triggered by hardware engines.
+ e.g. When OVL fetches all the data in the frame buffer, OVL will send
+ a frame done irq and send a frame done GCE event via hardware bus directly
+ at the same time.
