Just for sake of argument, I can say all users of PCC must then do the similar validation. I don't know where to draw the line here. Ideally I would expect the driver to make this transparent and give error during transmit if not supported. The driver must be able to work with different PCC type to support variety of platforms TBH. What is the issue exactly here ? Is this to prevent the use of Type 4 ? I think we must do something better but I don't know what that is yet.

Is this to prevent the Agree more with you. IMO, the user of PCC has the ability to support variety of platforms if they can get PCC type. In this case, to prevent type 4 is necessary if driver cannot act as a slave. on the other hand, If one driver acts as a slave, platform must supply slave subspace for them. > use of Type 4 ?

You know that the use of PCC can use polling mode and interrupt mode to communicate with platform. I'm not sure if the obtaining of the polling mode and interrupt mode is an issue to prevent driver to be more universal. But this driver can know if they support interrupt mode based on struct mbox_chan::struct mbox_controller::txdone_irq after requesting PCC channel. Because I'm not sure it's a better way. You know that drivers used interrupt mode need to fill the rx_callback function into mbx_client when register PCC channel. And drivers used polling mode don't do it. If we use this way, drivers that both support the two mode have to modify the rx_callback pointer after requesting PCC channel. >

What do you feeling about the comments montioned above? Maybe we still need to export the information whether the platform support interrupt before requesting PCC channel.

What if the driver in the future needs to work on a DT platform as well and need to work with non-PCC mailbox channel ? Also pushing the client PCC drivers to have more ACPI knowledge to understand what each type means is also something I prefer to avoid. The real information you want is whether this is an initiator(previously known master) channel or responder(previously known as slave) channel. It boils down to unidirectional vs bidirectional and what direction in bidirectional channels. It would be good if mbox framework can be taught that, or atleast make an attempt to see what people think about it. Just patching it the way you are proposing is just going to hide real issue here. > > > > Ideally I would expect the driver to make this transparent and give error > > during transmit if not supported. > I understand you. > I just check this type only once during the initializing phase. > Otherwise, every once need to verify it when send PCC command.

I am not sure if I followed all the details here. May be a rough hack helps to understand what you are proposing ? Ofcourse not for merging, just to understand the issue better. -- Regards, Sudeep

But the format and size of type0-2, type3/4 and type5 are different. And all PCC client drivers need to know which PCC type they used and how to fill the shared memory region header. Please notice that the type used by the client driver is fixed and agreed with the platform in advance. > client drivers.

The real information Yeah, it is great that the PCC client drivers don't need to know which PCC type is used. But it is inevitable according to above mentioned. > you want is whether this is an initiator(previously known master) channel or > responder(previously known as slave) channel.

Maybe it is ok. The harder thing to deal with is that the client driver needs to decide if set rx_callback for the polling or interrupt mode before requesting PCC channel. because driver doesn't know whether platform supports interrupt. If we fully put PCC type and interrupt mode we discussed to mailbox API or PCC driver, there are possibly many works should be done.

Currently, HCCS driver directly uses Generic Communications Channel Shared Memory Region which is used in type0/1/2 to communicate with platform, but actually doesn't support type3/4/5.
