[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: mctp: Add MCTP transport for the Axiado AX3005 IRoT

The Axiado AX3005 SoC has an integrated root-of-trust (IRoT)
co-processor next to the application processor. Security protocols such
as SPDM and PLDM run between the two over MCTP. This series adds a
transport for that link, so the host side uses ordinary AF_MCTP
sockets.

The link is built from two channels of the AX3005 mailbox controller,
which is already supported (drivers/mailbox/axiado-mailbox.c, in the
base of this series), and a no-map reserved-memory carve-out. The
mailbox carries small doorbell and ACK messages. The packets
themselves go through two windows in the carve-out, one per direction,
which the IRoT firmware allocates and reports at probe time. Each
direction has one packet in flight, and every packet is acknowledged
with a counter.

Patch 1 adds the devicetree binding and a MAINTAINERS entry.
Patch 2 adds the driver.

This is v1; there are no earlier revisions.
