[PATCH 00/14] mailbox: pcc: Fixes and cleanup/refactoring

[Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>]

Here is a summary of the changes in this patch series:

1. Fix for race condition in updating of the chan_in_use flag

   Ensures correct updating of the chan_in_use flag to avoid potential race
   conditions.

2. Interrupt handling fix

   Ensures platform acknowledgment interrupts are always cleared to avoid
   leaving the interrupt asserted forever.

3. Endian conversion cleanup

   Removes unnecessary endianness conversion in the PCC mailbox driver.

4. Memory mapping improvements

   Uses acpi_os_ioremap() instead of direct mapping methods for better ACPI
   compatibility.

5. Return early if the command complete register is absent

   Ensures that if no GAS (Generic Address Structure) register is available,
   the function exits early.

6. Refactor IRQ handler and move error handling to a separate function

   Improves readability of error handling in the PCC mailbox driver’s
   interrupt handler.

7. Code restructuring to avoid unnecessary forward declaration

   Moves pcc_mbox_ioremap() function to a more appropriate location with
   no functional impact.

8. Shared memory mapping refactoring/enhancements

   Ensures the shared memory is always mapped and unmapped in the PCC
   mailbox driver when the PCC channel is requested and release.

9. Refactored check_and_ack() Function

   Simplifies and improves the logic for handling type4 platform notification
   acknowledgments.

10-14. Shared memory handling simplifications across multiple drivers

    Simplifies shared memory handling in:
        Kunpeng HCCS driver (soc: hisilicon)
        Apm X-Gene Slimpro I2C driver
        X-Gene hardware monitoring driver (hwmon)
        ACPI PCC driver
        ACPI CPPC driver

The X-gene related changes now change the mapping attributes to align
with ACPI specification. There are possibilities for more cleanups on
top of these changes around how the shmem is accessed within these
driver. Also, we can just target 10-14 for following merge window
after 1-9 is merged.

Overall, the patch series focuses on improving correctness, efficiency, and
maintainability of the PCC mailbox driver and related components by fixing
race conditions, optimizing memory handling, simplifying shared memory
interactions, and refactoring code for clarity.
