IPC is the actual name of the hardware block described in this binding. I'll update the description of the binding in v2 to mention this. Additionally, I'll rename the compatible to microchip,ipc-sbi-remoteproc to further clarify that this binding is intended for devices using the Microchip IPC hardware block and for devices with an SBI interface (RISC-V).

Well, still generic. Explain why this deserves exception from specific SoC compatibles. Best regards, Krzysztof

Explain why this deserves exception from specific > SoC compatibles. If I understand this correctly, some degree of generic-ness is actually intended here. The IPC/IHC (the name depends on whether or not it is RTL for the FPGA fabric or a hardened version) isn't quite like some of the other remoteproc things here, that are intended for programming a DSP or similar with some firmware - it's intended for asymmetric multiprocessing stuff, where some of the CPU cores run Linux and the others are running something like freertos or zephyr, with an abstracted interface provided by the firmware/SBI implementation. The mailbox side of this is also implemented using an SBI abstraction (similar to PSCI or SCMI, I never recall which) and also has a compatible that isn't tied to specific soc. Granted, the mailbox side does also have a IP core specific version, but that is not intended to be consumed by the OS, but rather by the SBI implementation (e.g. OpenSBI). What this binding is supposed to be describing is the "generic" ecall interface to a set of remote processors provided by the SBI implementation. The platform you're running on is meant to be abstracted away by use of ecalls etc, just as the mailbox is - which is why Valentina went something not soc-specific here. I can see much more of an argument for encoding the version of the protocol that is implemented by the SBI firmware than for having a soc-specific set of compatibles here.
