-MediaTek GCE
-===============
-
-The Global Command Engine (GCE) is used to help read/write registers with
-critical time limitation, such as updating display configuration during the
-vblank. The GCE can be used to implement the Command Queue (CMDQ) driver.
-
-CMDQ driver uses mailbox framework for communication. Please refer to
-mailbox.txt for generic information about mailbox device-tree bindings.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible: can be "mediatek,mt8173-gce", "mediatek,mt8183-gce",
- "mediatek,mt8186-gce", "mediatek,mt8192-gce", "mediatek,mt8195-gce" or
- "mediatek,mt6779-gce".
-- reg: Address range of the GCE unit
-- interrupts: The interrupt signal from the GCE block
-- clock: Clocks according to the common clock binding
-- clock-names: Must be "gce" to stand for GCE clock
-- #mbox-cells: Should be 2.
- <&phandle channel priority>
- phandle: Label name of a gce node.
- channel: Channel of mailbox. Be equal to the thread id of GCE.
- priority: Priority of GCE thread.
-
-Required properties for a client device:
-- mboxes: Client use mailbox to communicate with GCE, it should have this
- property and list of phandle, mailbox specifiers.
-Optional properties for a client device:
-- mediatek,gce-client-reg: Specify the sub-system id which is corresponding
- to the register address, it should have this property and list of phandle,
- sub-system specifiers.
- <&phandle subsys_number start_offset size>
- phandle: Label name of a gce node.
- subsys_number: specify the sub-system id which is corresponding
- to the register address.
- start_offset: the start offset of register address that GCE can access.
- size: the total size of register address that GCE can access.
-
-Optional properties for a client mutex node:
-- mediatek,gce-events: GCE events used by clients. The event numbers are
- defined in 'dt-bindings/gce/<chip>-gce.h'.
-
-Some vaules of properties are defined in 'dt-bindings/gce/mt8173-gce.h',
-'dt-bindings/gce/mt8183-gce.h', 'dt-bindings/gce/mt8186-gce.h'
-'dt-bindings/gce/mt8192-gce.h', 'dt-bindings/gce/mt8195-gce.h' or
-'dt-bindings/gce/mt6779-gce.h'.
-Such as sub-system ids, thread priority, event ids.
-
-Example:
-
- gce: gce@10212000 {
- compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-gce";
- reg = <0 0x10212000 0 0x1000>;
- interrupts = <GIC_SPI 135 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
- clocks = <&infracfg CLK_INFRA_GCE>;
- clock-names = "gce";
- #mbox-cells = <2>;
- };
-
-Example for a client device:
-
- mmsys: clock-controller@14000000 {
- compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys";
- mboxes = <&gce 0 CMDQ_THR_PRIO_LOWEST>,
- <&gce 1 CMDQ_THR_PRIO_LOWEST>;
- mutex-event-eof = <CMDQ_EVENT_MUTEX0_STREAM_EOF
- CMDQ_EVENT_MUTEX1_STREAM_EOF>;
- mediatek,gce-client-reg = <&gce SUBSYS_1400XXXX 0x3000 0x1000>,
- <&gce SUBSYS_1401XXXX 0x2000 0x100>;
- ...

Values for properties used by the GCE, such as sub-system IDs, thread
priority and event IDs are defined in 'dt-bindings/gce/<chip>-gce.h'.
Would that be enough, or should I list all of the headers?

Thanks for that, I've just rechecked the driver and.. no, that won't
work for MT8195: it's just one clock there (like the others) and the
clock names aren't even enforced, as the driver is always taking the
clock at index 0.
I got confused because the driver uses a slightly different kind of
logic when probing on SoCs with multiple mailboxes, specifically:
- For single mailbox, having a clock with name "gce" is enforced
as it's grabbing it with devm_clk_get(dev, clk_name), where the
clock name is declared in a string called "clk_name";
- For multiple mailboxes, it's looking for an of_alias, declared
in an array of strings called "clk_names" and getting the clock
with of_clk_get(node, 0).
So there comes my confusion, recapping:
static const char * const clk_name = "gce";
<- this is a clock name
static const char * const clk_names[] = { "gce0", "gce1" }; <- OF alias names
At this point, I think that the best idea would be to fix this issue
first... luckily there's no MT8195 devicetree upstream yet, so I would
technically not be breaking any ABI by changing it to be the same as
the others.
Easier explanation: plan is to change the driver such that we won't
need anything different from the others in this schema.
New version coming soon, then....

Angelo

I was not thinking about driver, although it's nice that my review
helped in that. What I was mentioning, is your bindings behave correctly
for mediatek,mt8195-gce DTS? You have maxItems:1 and maxItems:2, so
usually it was failing, AFAIR.
The same with clock-names - I think the schema should fail here.

All this sounds a bit unrelated to the bindings. Anyway, gce for one
case and gce0+gce1 for other, are okay, although schema looks a bit more
complicated. See for example:

I was not thinking about driver, although it's nice that my review
helped in that. What I was mentioning, is your bindings behave correctly
for mediatek,mt8195-gce DTS? You have maxItems:1 and maxItems:2, so
usually it was failing, AFAIR.
The same with clock-names - I think the schema should fail here.

All this sounds a bit unrelated to the bindings. Anyway, gce for one
case and gce0+gce1 for other, are okay, although schema looks a bit more
complicated. See for example:
