[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: mailbox: add Axiado AX3005 mailbox

Wed Jul 29 21:36:50 PDT 2026


Add a devicetree binding for the Axiado AX3005 mailbox controller.
The controller provides inter-processor communication channels
between the host CPU and the coprocessor, with separate TX and RX
register regions.

Add the corresponding MAINTAINERS entry covering the binding.

+description: |
+  The Axiado mailbox controller provides inter-processor communication
+  channels between subsystems within the Axiado SoC. The hardware has
+  separate TX and RX register regions. Only the RX channels (channels 8-15)
+  generate interrupts; TX channels are purely poll/write-based.
