The NXP security hardware IP(s) like: i.MX EdgeLock Enclave, V2X etc.,
creates an embedded secure enclave within the SoC boundary to enable
features like:
- HSM
- SHE
- V2X
Secure-Enclave(s) communication interface are typically via message
unit, i.e., based on mailbox linux kernel driver. This driver enables
communication ensuring well defined message sequence protocol between
Application Core and enclave's firmware.
Driver configures multiple misc-device on the MU, for multiple
user-space applications, to be able to communicate over single MU.
It exists on some i.MX processors. e.g. i.MX8ULP, i.MX93 etc.

+description: |
+ NXP's SoC may contain one or multiple embedded secure-enclave HW
+ IP(s) like i.MX EdgeLock Enclave, V2X etc. These NXP's HW IP(s)
+ enables features like
+ - Hardware Security Module (HSM),
+ - Security Hardware Extension (SHE), and
+ - Vehicular to Anything (V2X)
+
+ Communication interface to the secure-enclaves is based on the
+ messaging unit(s).

A different dependency should be noted in *this* patch. If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to date: pip3 install dtschema --upgrade Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.
