[PATCH v3 0/4] Add Microchip IPC mailbox

[Valentina Fernandez]

Hello all,

This series adds support for the Microchip Inter-Processor Communication
(IPC) mailbox driver.

Microchip's family of RISC-V SoCs typically has one or more clusters
that can be configured to run in Asymmetric Multi-Processing (AMP) mode.

The Microchip IPC is used to send messages between processors using
an interrupt signaling mechanism. The driver uses the RISC-V Supervisor
Binary Interface (SBI) to communicate with software running in machine
mode (M-mode) to access the IPC hardware block.

Additional details on the Microchip vendor extension and the IPC
function IDs described in the driver can be found in the following
documentation:

https://github.com/linux4microchip/microchip-sbi-ecall-extension

The PIC64GX MPU has a Mi-V IHC block, this will be added to the PIC64GX
dts after the initial upstreaming [1].

Changes in v3:
- Fix incorrent formatting around '=' in dt binding examples
- Add per compatible descriptions in dt binding
- Add '>' in certain dt binding descriptions to keep paragraphs maintained
- export __cpuid_to_hartid_map to compile mailbox driver as module
- Drop unused enum ipc_irq_type
- rename struct mchp_ipc_probe to mchp_ipc_mbox_info
- rename struct ipc_chan_info to mchp_ipc_sbi_chan
- rename struct microchip_ipc to mchp_ipc_sbi_mbox
- use phys_addr_t for __pa()
- drop mchp_ipc_get_chan_id function
- use num_chans in mbox_controller
- Fix buf_base_tx and buf_base_rx sizes using max and kmalloc

Changes in v2:
- use kmalloc and __pa() instead of DMA API
- fix size of buf_base to avoid potential buffer overflow
- add kernel doc for exported functions (mchp_ipc_get_chan_id)
- use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL
- drop unnecessary blank line and fix alignment issues
- drop of_match_ptr
- move MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE next to the definition
- reword subject from riscv: asm: vendorid_list to riscv: sbi: vendorid_list
- remove the word "driver" from dt-binding commit subject
- make interrupt-names a required property for all cases
- add dependency on COMPILE_TEST and ARCH_MICROCHIP

Regards,
Valentina
