5a6338cce9 mailbox: arm_mhuv2: Add driver
This adds driver for the ARM MHUv2 (Message Handling Unit) mailbox
controller.

This is based on the accepted DT bindings of the controller and supports
combination of both transport protocols, i.e. doorbell and data-transfer.

Transmitting and receiving data through the mailbox framework is done
through struct arm_mhuv2_mbox_msg.

Based on the initial work done by Morten Borup Petersen from ARM.

7002ca237b mailbox: arm_mhu: Add ARM MHU doorbell driver
The MHU drives the signal using a 32-bit register, with all 32 bits
logically ORed together. The MHU provides a set of registers to enable
software to set, clear, and check the status of each of the bits of this
register independently. The use of 32 bits for each interrupt line
enables software to provide more information about the source of the
interrupt. For example, each bit of the register can be associated with
a type of event that can contribute to raising the interrupt.

This patch adds a separate the MHU controller driver for doorbel mode
of operation using the extended DT binding to add support the same.

fa74a0257f mailbox: Add support for Qualcomm IPCC
Add support for the Inter-Processor Communication Controller (IPCC)
block from Qualcomm that coordinates the interrupts (inbound & outbound)
for Multiprocessor (MPROC), COMPUTE-Level0 (COMPUTE-L0) & COMPUTE-Level1
(COMPUTE-L1) protocols for the Application Processor Subsystem (APSS).

This driver is modeled as an irqchip+mailbox driver. The irqchip part
helps in receiving the interrupts from the IPCC clients such as modems,
DSPs, PCI-E etc... and forwards them to respective entities in APSS.

On the other hand, the mailbox part is used to send interrupts to the IPCC
clients from the entities of APSS.

41c0e939d7 mailbox: Add support for Hi3660 mailbox
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).

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

0bae6af6d7 mailbox: Enable BCM2835 mailbox support
This mailbox driver provides a single mailbox channel to write 32-bit
values to the VPU and get a 32-bit response.  The Raspberry Pi
firmware uses this mailbox channel to implement firmware calls, while
Roku 2 (despite being derived from the same firmware tree) doesn't.

The driver was originally submitted by Lubomir, based on the
out-of-tree 2708 mailbox driver.  Eric Anholt fixed it up for
upstreaming, with the major functional change being that it now has no
notion of multiple channels (since that is a firmware-dependent
concept) and instead the raspberrypi-firmware driver will do that
bit-twiddling in its own messages.

(PCC) is typically used by CPPC (ACPI CPU Performance management),
RAS (ACPI reliability protocol) and MPST (ACPI Memory power
states).

This patch adds PCC support as a Mailbox Controller. As of
ACPI v5.1 there is no provision for clients to lookup mailbox
controllers in a way that Linux expects. e.g. in DT the clients
can list the mailboxes they can associate with in the DT binding
and then provide a unique index to lookup a channel within a mailbox.
Since the ACPI spec doesn't have anything similar, we introduce a
mailbox controller specific API so that when the client calls it,
we know to lookup in the context of a specific controller. This
also helps in keeping a consistent interface across DT and ACPI
for such drivers.

This patch implements basic PCC support using the ACPI v5.1
structures. IRQ mode support will be provided as follow up patches.

2b6d83e2b8 mailbox: Introduce framework for mailbox
Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and
controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC).

Client driver developers should have a look at
 include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of
the API exposed to client drivers.
Similarly controller driver developers should have a look
at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h

5040f53438 mailbox/omap: consolidate OMAP mailbox driver
There is no need for a separate common OMAP mailbox module
now that the OMAP1 mailbox driver has been removed. So,
consolidate the two individual OMAP mailbox modules into a
single driver. This streamlines the driver for converting
to mailbox framework.

The following are the main changes:
- collapse mailbox-omap2.c into omap-mailbox.c
- remove omap_mbox_ops and replace the ops calls with
  the equivalent functionality.
- simplify the sub-mailbox startup/shutdown functionality,
  the one-time operations are moved into probe, and the
  pm_runtime_get_sync and pm_runtime_put_sync can be invoked
  without using a configuration counter.
- move all definitions from private omap_mbox.h into the
  source code, and eliminate this internal header.
- rename some variables that used the omap2_mbox prefix with
  a generic omap_mbox prefix.

79859094e5 mailbox/omap: remove OMAP1 mailbox driver
There are no existing users for OMAP1 mailbox driver
in kernel. Commit ab6f775 "Removing dead OMAP_DSP"
has cleaned up all the dead code related to the only
possible user, including the creation of the mailbox
platform device.

Remove this stale driver so that the OMAP mailbox
driver can be simplified and streamlined better for
converting to mailbox framework.

c869c75c16 mailbox/omap: move the OMAP mailbox framework to drivers
The mailbox hardware (in OMAP) uses a queued mailbox interrupt
mechanism that provides a communication channel between processors
through a set of registers and their associated interrupt signals
by sending and receiving messages.

The OMAP mailbox framework/driver code is moved to be under
drivers/mailbox, in preparation for adapting to a common mailbox
driver framework. This allows the build for OMAP mailbox to be
enabled (it was disabled during the multi-platform support).

As part of the migration from plat and mach code:
- Kconfig symbols have been renamed to build OMAP1 or OMAP2+ drivers.
- mailbox.h under plat-omap/plat/include has been split into a public
  and private header files. The public header has only the API related
  functions and types.
- The module name mailbox.ko from plat-omap is changed to
  omap-mailbox.ko
- The module name mailbox_mach.ko from mach-omapX is changed as
    mailbox_omap1.ko for OMAP1
    mailbox_omap2.ko for OMAP2+
