It's third ping these two weeks from Qualcomm. Folks, it is merge window. What do you think will happen with your ping during this time? Best regards, Krzysztof

As you are aware that a previous merged solution was abandoned by Qcom in a single kernel release cycle. So I decided to ignore this for one or 2 kernel release cycle to make sure Qcom makes up their mind on the design and then we can see how to proceed. Qcom must understand upstream kernel is not a playground to push their design which they might decided to drop support for in such short period. Please understand the upstream kernel supports platforms that are more than few decades old. It is not like the mobile platforms that are hardly supported for couple of years. And similarly, we push core support if and only if we know for sure it will be used on some platform. I trusted Qcom with the previous extension of SMC/HVC transport but I was proven wrong. Also, I definitely don't like the way you have copied the whole smc.c and changed it to Qcom's need and made it qcom_hvc.c. Just add the required changes in smc.c. -- Regards, Sudeep

I will rework the patch to include changes in smc.c. Thanks so much for your response!
This change introduce a new transport channel for Qualcomm virtual platforms. The transport is mechanically similar to ARM_SCMI_TRANSPORT_SMC. The difference between the two transports is that a parameter is passed in the hypervisor call to identify which doorbell to assert. This parameter is dynamically generated at runtime on the device and insuitable to pass via the devicetree. The function ID and parameter are stored by firmware in the shmem region. This has been tested on ARM64 virtual Qualcomm platform. --- v3 -> fix the compilation error reported by the test bot, add support for polling based instances v2 -> use allOf construct in dtb schema, remove wrappers from mutexes, use architecture independent channel layout v1 -> original patches Nikunj Kela (3): dt-bindings: arm: convert nested if-else construct to allOf dt-bindings: arm: Add qcom specific hvc transport for SCMI firmware: arm_scmi: Add qcom hvc/shmem transport .../bindings/firmware/arm,scmi.yaml | 67 ++--- drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/Kconfig | 13 + drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/Makefile | 2 + drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/common.h | 3 + drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/driver.c | 4 + drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/qcom_hvc.c | 232 ++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 293 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/qcom_hvc.c
