Thierry Reding 983de5f971 firmware: tegra: Add BPMP support
The Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP) is a co-processor found
on Tegra SoCs. It is designed to handle the early stages of the boot
process and offload power management tasks (such as clocks, resets,
powergates, ...) as well as system control services.

Compared to the ARM SCPI, the services provided by BPMP are message-
based rather than method-based. The BPMP firmware driver provides the
services to transmit data to and receive data from the BPMP. Users can
also register a Message ReQuest (MRQ), for which a service routine will
be run when a corresponding event is received from the firmware.

A set of messages, called the BPMP ABI, are specified for a number of
different services provided by the BPMP (such as clocks or resets).

Based on work by Sivaram Nair <sivaramn@nvidia.com> and Joseph Lo
<josephl@nvidia.com>.

help
IVC (Inter-VM Communication) protocol is part of the IPC
(Inter Processor Communication) framework on Tegra. It maintains the
data and the different commuication channels in SysRAM or RAM and
keeps the content is synchronization between host CPU and remote
processors.
config TEGRA_BPMP
bool "Tegra BPMP driver"
depends on ARCH_TEGRA && TEGRA_HSP_MBOX && TEGRA_IVC
help
BPMP (Boot and Power Management Processor) is designed to off-loading
the PM functions which include clock/DVFS/thermal/power from the CPU.
It needs HSP as the HW synchronization and notification module and
IVC module as the message communication protocol.
This driver manages the IPC interface between host CPU and the
firmware running on BPMP.
