dt-bindings: mailbox: Add mediatek,gce-props.yaml

Add mediatek,gce-props.yaml for common GCE properties that is used for
both mailbox providers and consumers. We place the common property
"mediatek,gce-events" in this binding currently.

The property "mediatek,gce-events" is used for GCE event ID corresponding
to a hardware event signal sent by the hardware or a software driver.
If the mailbox providers or consumers want to manipulate the value of
the event ID, they need to know the specific event ID.

The Command Queue 15 + (CMDQ) mailbox driver is a driver for GCE, implemented using the Linux 16 + mailbox framework. It is used to receive messages from mailbox consumers 17 + and configure GCE to execute the specified instruction set in the message. 18 + We use mediatek,gce-mailbox.yaml to define the properties for CMDQ mailbox 19 + driver. A device driver that uses the CMDQ driver to configure its hardware 20 + registers is a mailbox consumer. The mailbox consumer can request a mailbox 21 + channel corresponding to a GCE hardware thread to send a message, specifying 22 + that the GCE thread to configure its hardware. The mailbox provider can also 23 + reserve a mailbox channel to configure GCE hardware register by the specific 24 + GCE thread. This binding defines the common GCE properties for both mailbox 25 + provider and consumers. 26 + 27 + properties: 28 + mediatek,gce-events: 29 + description: 30 + GCE has an event table in SRAM, consisting of 1024 event IDs (0~1023). 31 + Each event ID has a boolean event value with the default value 0. 32 + The property mediatek,gce-events is used to obtain the event IDs. 33 + Some gce-events are hardware-bound and cannot be changed by software. 34 + For instance, in MT8195, when VDO0_MUTEX is stream done, VDO_MUTEX will 35 + send an event signal to GCE, setting the value of event ID 597 to 1. 36 + Similarly, in MT8188, the value of event ID 574 will be set to 1 when 37 + VOD0_MUTEX is stream done. 38 + On the other hand, some gce-events are not hardware-bound and can be 39 + changed by software. For example, in MT8188, we can set the value of 40 + event ID 855, which is not bound to any hardware, to 1 when the driver 41 + in the secure world completes a task. However, in MT8195, event ID 855 42 + is already bound to VDEC_LAT1, so we need to select another event ID to 43 + achieve the same purpose. This event ID can be any ID that is not bound 44 + to any hardware and is not yet used in any software driver. 45 + To determine if the event ID is bound to the hardware or used by a 46 + software driver, refer to the GCE header 47 + include/dt-bindings/gce/<chip>-gce.h of each chip. 48 + $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32-array 49 + minItems: 1 50 + maxItems: 32 51 + 52 + additionalProperties: true
