Merge tag 'rpmsg' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

Pull "remoteproc/rpmsg: new subsystem" from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This new subsystem provides a common way to talk to secondary
  processors on an SoC, e.g.  a DSP, GPU or service processor, using
  virtio as the transport.  In the long run, it should replace a few
  dozen vendor specific ways to do the same thing, which all never made
  it into the upstream kernel.  There is a broad agreement that rpmsg is
  the way to go here and several vendors have started working on
  replacing their own subsystems.

  Two branches each add one virtio protocol number.  Fortunately the
  numbers were agreed upon in advance, so there are only context
  changes.

  Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>"

Fixed up trivial protocol number conflict due to the mentioned additions
next to each other.

+ * @cb: rx callback handler
+ * @priv: private data for the driver's use
+ * @addr: local rpmsg address to bind with @cb
+ *
+ * Every rpmsg address in the system is bound to an rx callback (so when
+ * inbound messages arrive, they are dispatched by the rpmsg bus using the
+ * appropriate callback handler) by means of an rpmsg_endpoint struct.
+ *
+ * This function allows drivers to create such an endpoint, and by that,
+ * bind a callback, and possibly some private data too, to an rpmsg address
+ * (either one that is known in advance, or one that will be dynamically
+ * assigned for them).
+ *
+ * Simple rpmsg drivers need not call rpmsg_create_ept, because an endpoint
+ * is already created for them when they are probed by the rpmsg bus
+ * (using the rx callback provided when they registered to the rpmsg bus).
+ *
+ * So things should just work for simple drivers: they already have an
+ * endpoint, their rx callback is bound to their rpmsg address, and when
+ * relevant inbound messages arrive (i.e. messages which their dst address
+ * equals to the src address of their rpmsg channel), the driver's handler
+ * is invoked to process it.
+ *
+ * That said, more complicated drivers might do need to allocate
+ * additional rpmsg addresses, and bind them to different rx callbacks.
+ * To accomplish that, those drivers need to call this function.
+ *
+ * Drivers should provide their @rpdev channel (so the new endpoint would belong
+ * to the same remote processor their channel belongs to), an rx callback
+ * function, an optional private data (which is provided back when the
+ * rx callback is invoked), and an address they want to bind with the
+ * callback. If @addr is RPMSG_ADDR_ANY, then rpmsg_create_ept will
+ * dynamically assign them an available rpmsg address (drivers should have
+ * a very good reason why not to always use RPMSG_ADDR_ANY here).
+ *
+ * Returns a pointer to the endpoint on success, or NULL on error.
