CPC stands for Co-Processor Communication and currently exists as a
userspace daemon [1]. It enables multiple applications running on a
coprocessor to share a single physical link to a Linux host.
CPC userspace and kernel implementations differ, as the kernel
implementation relies on Greybus. So even though both share the "CPC"
name, they are not the same protocol and are not intended to be
compatible with each other. Kernel integration is intended to superseed
the userspace daemon.
The point of the kernel integration is gain access to more physical
links, like SDIO, and eventually add Greybus drivers that integrate into
kernel stacks like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The first step to add CPC support with Greybus is to add a very minimal
module for CPC Host Devices. For now, this module only proxies calls to
the Greybus Host Device API and does nothing useful, but further commits
will use this base to build upon.
