When data transfer is implemented, it is via HW registers or * FIFOs, rather than via RAM-based buffers. The mailbox API generally * implements any communication protocol enforced solely by hardware, and * leaves any higher-level protocols to other layers. * * A mailbox channel is a bi-directional mechanism that can send a message or * notification to a single specific remote entity, and receive messages or * notifications from that entity. The size, content, and format of such * messages is defined by the mailbox implementation, or the remote entity with * which it communicates; there is no general standard at this API level. * * A driver that implements UCLASS_MAILBOX is a mailbox provider. A provider * will often implement multiple separate mailbox channels, since the hardware * it manages often has this capability. mailbox-uclass.h describes the * interface which mailbox providers must implement. * * Mailbox consumers/clients generate and send, or receive and process, * messages. This header file describes the API used by clients. */ struct udevice; /** * struct mbox_chan - A handle to a single mailbox channel. * * Clients provide storage for channels.
