threeeye bc1d038eac REVVL 6 Pro kernel bring-up: full working tree snapshot (2026-09-12)
Squashed backup commit (no shallow-clone history issues) of
xiaomi-mt6833-dev/kernel_xiaomi_mt6833 (lineage-23.2 branch, upstream
commit 9eece662e) plus all fixes applied to get everpal_defconfig building
clean against a modern (GCC 15.2.0) toolchain -- see the previous commit
message on the lineage-23.2 branch (also in this repo history is not
available here since this is a squashed snapshot; full incremental history
lives in the local DL380 checkout and the upstream GitHub remote).

ARM MHU Mailbox Driver
======================
The ARM's Message-Handling-Unit (MHU) is a mailbox controller that has
3 independent channels/links to communicate with remote processor(s).
MHU links are hardwired on a platform. A link raises interrupt for any
received data. However, there is no specified way of knowing if the sent
data has been read by the remote. This driver assumes the sender polls
STAT register and the remote clears it after having read the data.
The last channel is specified to be a 'Secure' resource, hence can't be
used by Linux running NS.
Mailbox Device Node:
====================
Required properties:
--------------------
- compatible: Shall be "arm,mhu" & "arm,primecell"
- reg: Contains the mailbox register address range (base
address and length)
- #mbox-cells Shall be 1 - the index of the channel needed.
- interrupts: Contains the interrupt information corresponding to
each of the 3 links of MHU.
Example:
--------
mhu: mailbox@2b1f0000 {
#mbox-cells = <1>;
compatible = "arm,mhu", "arm,primecell";
reg = <0 0x2b1f0000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <0 36 4>, /* LP-NonSecure */
<0 35 4>, /* HP-NonSecure */
<0 37 4>; /* Secure */
clocks = <&clock 0 2 1>;
clock-names = "apb_pclk";
};
mhu_client: scb@2e000000 {
compatible = "fujitsu,mb86s70-scb-1.0";
reg = <0 0x2e000000 0x4000>;
mboxes = <&mhu 1>; /* HP-NonSecure */
};
