    mailbox: Add support for Hi3660 mailbox · 41c0e939
    Kaihua Zhong authored
    Hi3660 mailbox controller is used to send message within multiple
    processors, MCU, HIFI, etc.  It supports 32 mailbox channels and every
    channel can only be used for single transferring direction.  Once the
    channel is enabled, it needs to specify the destination interrupt and
    acknowledge interrupt, these two interrupt vectors are used to create
    the connection between the mailbox and interrupt controllers.
    
    The data transferring supports two modes, one is named as "automatic
    acknowledge" mode so after send message the kernel doesn't need to wait
    for acknowledge from remote and directly return; there have another mode
    is to rely on handling interrupt for acknowledge.
    
    This commit is for initial version driver, which only supports
    "automatic acknowledge" mode to support CPU clock, which is the only
    one consumer to use mailbox and has been verified.  Later may enhance
    this driver for interrupt mode (e.g. for supporting HIFI).
