2015-08-10mailbox: switch to hrtimer for tx_complete pollingSudeep Holla
The mailbox core uses jiffy based timer to handle polling for the transmit completion. If the client/protocol have/support notification of the last packet transmit completion via ACK packet, then we tick the Tx state machine immediately in the callback. However if the client doesn't support that mechanism we might end-up waiting for atleast a jiffy even though the remote is ready to receive the next request. This patch switches the timer used for that polling from jiffy-based to hrtimer-based so that we can support polling at much higher time resolution.

2014-10-08mailbox: Introduce framework for mailboxJassi Brar
Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC). Client driver developers should have a look at include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of the API exposed to client drivers. Similarly controller driver developers should have a look at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h Reviewed-by: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@linaro.org>
