soc: qcom: ipa: the generic software interface
This patch includes "gsi.c", which implements the generic software interface (GSI) for IPA. The generic software interface abstracts channels, which provide a means of transferring data either from the AP to the IPA, or from the IPA to the AP. A ring buffer of "transfer elements" (TREs) is used to describe data transfers to perform. The AP writes a doorbell register associated with a channel to let it know it has added new entries (for an AP->IPA channel) or has finished processing entries (for an IPA->AP channel). Each channel also has an event ring buffer, used by the IPA to communicate information about events related to a channel (for example, the completion of TREs). The IPA writes its own doorbell register, which triggers an interrupt on the AP, to signal that new event information has arrived. Signed-off-by:Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Signed-off-by:
