It provides a set of hardware synchronization primitives for +interprocessor communication. So the interprocessor communication (IPC) +protocols can use hardware synchronization primitives, when operating between +two processors not in an SMP relationship. + +The features that HSP supported are shared mailboxes, shared semaphores, +arbitrated semaphores and doorbells. + +Required properties: +- name : Should be hsp +- compatible + Array of strings. + one of: + - "nvidia,tegra186-hsp" + - "nvidia,tegra194-hsp", "nvidia,tegra186-hsp" +- reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device. +- interrupt-names + Array of strings. + Contains a list of names for the interrupts described by the interrupt + property. May contain the following entries, in any order: + - "doorbell" + - "sharedN", where 'N' is a number from zero up to the number of + external interrupts supported by the HSP instance minus one. + Users of this binding MUST look up entries in the interrupt property + by name, using this interrupt-names property to do so. +- interrupts + Array of interrupt specifiers. + Must contain one entry per entry in the interrupt-names property, + in a matching order. +- #mbox-cells : Should be 2. + +The mbox specifier of the "mboxes" property in the client node should contain +two cells. The first cell determines the HSP type and the second cell is used +to identify the mailbox that the client is going to use. + +For doorbells, the second cell specifies the index of the doorbell to use. + +For shared mailboxes, the second cell is composed of two fields: +- bits 31..24: + A bit mask of flags that further specify how the shared mailbox will be + used. Valid flags are: + - bit 31: + Defines the direction of the mailbox. If set, the mailbox will be used + as a producer (i.e. used to send data). If cleared, the mailbox is the + consumer of data sent by a producer. + +- bits 23.. 0: + The index of the shared mailbox to use.
