The mailbox framework controls the transmission queue and requires
either its controller implementations or clients to run the state
machine for the Tx queue. The OMAP mailbox controller uses a Tx-ready
interrupt as the equivalent of a Tx-done interrupt to run this Tx
queue state-machine.
The WkupM3 processor on AM33xx and AM43xx SoCs is used to offload
certain PM tasks, like doing the necessary operations for Device
PM suspend/resume or for entering lower c-states during cpuidle.
The CPUIdle on AM33xx requires the messages to be sent without
having to trigger the Tx-ready interrupts, as the interrupt
would immediately terminate the CPUIdle operation. Support for
this has been added by introducing a DT quirk, "ti,mbox-send-noirq"
and using it to modify the normal OMAP mailbox controller behavior
on the sub-mailboxes used to communicate with the WkupM3 remote
processor. This also requires the wkup_m3_ipc driver to adjust
its mailbox usage logic to run the Tx state machine.
NOTE:
- AM43xx does not communicate with WkupM3 for CPU Idle, so is
not affected by this behavior. But, it uses the same IPC driver
for PM suspend/resume functionality, so requires the quirk as
well, because of changes to the common wkup_m3_ipc driver.
