Hi3660 mailbox controller is used to send message within multiple processors, MCU, HIFI, etc. It supports 32 mailbox channels and every channel can only be used for single transferring direction. Once the channel is enabled, it needs to specify the destination interrupt and acknowledge interrupt, these two interrupt vectors are used to create the connection between the mailbox and interrupt controllers. The data transferring supports two modes, one is named as "automatic acknowledge" mode so after send message the kernel doesn't need to wait for acknowledge from remote and directly return; there have another mode is to rely on handling interrupt for acknowledge. This commit is for initial version driver, which only supports "automatic acknowledge" mode to support CPU clock, which is the only one consumer to use mailbox and has been verified. Later may enhance this driver for interrupt mode (e.g. for supporting HIFI).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
