[PATCH] dt-bindings: mailbox: Convert brcm,iproc-pdc-mbox to DT schema

From: Rob Herring (Arm)
Date: Tue Aug 12 2025 - 14:19:01 EST


Convert the Broadcom iProc PDC mailbox binding to DT schema format. It's
a straightforward conversion.

-The PDC driver manages data transfer to and from various offload engines
-on some Broadcom SoCs. An SoC may have multiple PDC hardware blocks. There is
-one device tree entry per block. On some chips, the PDC functionality is
-handled by the FA2 (Northstar Plus).
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : Should be "brcm,iproc-pdc-mbox" or "brcm,iproc-fa2-mbox" for
- FA2/Northstar Plus.
-- reg: Should contain PDC registers location and length.
-- interrupts: Should contain the IRQ line for the PDC.
-- #mbox-cells: 1
-- brcm,rx-status-len: Length of metadata preceding received frames, in bytes.
-
-Optional properties:
-- brcm,use-bcm-hdr: present if a BCM header precedes each frame.
-
-Example:
- pdc0: iproc-pdc0@612c0000 {
- compatible = "brcm,iproc-pdc-mbox";
- reg = <0 0x612c0000 0 0x445>; /* PDC FS0 regs */
- interrupts = <GIC_SPI 187 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
- #mbox-cells = <1>; /* one cell per mailbox channel */
- brcm,rx-status-len = <32>;
- brcm,use-bcm-hdr;
- };
