dt-bindings: mailbox: Add support for secure proxy threads
Secure Proxy is another communication scheme in Texas Instrument's devices intended to provide an unique communication path from various processors in the System on Chip(SoC) to a central System Controller. Secure proxy is, in effect, an evolution of current generation Message Manager hardware block found in K2G devices. However the following changes have taken place: Secure Proxy instance exposes "threads" or "proxies" which is primary representation of "a" communication channel. Each thread is preconfigured by System controller configuration based on SoC usage requirements. Secure proxy by itself represents a single "queue" of communication but allows the proxies to be independently operated. Each Secure proxy thread can uniquely have their own error and threshold interrupts allowing for more fine control of IRQ handling. Provide an hardware description of the same for device tree representation. See AM65x Technical Reference Manual (SPRUID7, April 2018) for further details: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruid7 Reviewed-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Nishanth Menon <nm@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@linaro.org>
