+description:
+ MediaTek APU (AI Processing Unit) is a microcontroller unit
+ designed for AI acceleration tasks. The MediaTek APU-Mailbox
+ facilitates communication with the APU microcontroller.
+ Within the MediaTek APU subsystem, a message passing mechanism is
+ built on top of the mailbox system. The mailbox only has limited
+ space for each message. The firmware expects the message header
+ from the mailbox, while the message body is passed through some
+ fixed shared memory.
+
+properties:
+ compatible:
+ const: mediatek,mt8196-apu-mailbox
+
+ "#mbox-cells":
+ const: 1
+ description:
+ The cell describe which channel the device will use.
+
+ reg:
+ maxItems: 1
+
+ interrupts:
+ maxItems: 1
+
+required:
+ - compatible
+ - "#mbox-cells"
+ - reg
+ - interrupts
+
+additionalProperties: false
+
+examples:
+ - |
+ #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/arm-gic.h>
+ #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h>

+ soc {
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <2>;

The "dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings. See also: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.7-rc8/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.rst#L18 I already asked for this. > > MediaTek APU (AI Processing Unit) is a microcontroller unit > designed for AI acceleration tasks.

Please wrap commit message according to Linux coding style / submission process (neither too early nor over the limit): https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc1/source/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst#L597 > > Signed-off-by: Karl Li <karl.li@mediatek.com> > --- > .../mailbox/mediatek,apu-mailbox.yaml | 60 +++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 60 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mediatek,apu-mailbox.yaml > > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mediatek,apu-mailbox.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mediatek,apu-mailbox.yaml > new file mode 100644 > index 000000000000..fdb0dec5fb78 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mediatek,apu-mailbox.yaml Use compatible as filename.
