The MU also provides the ability +for one processor to signal the other processor using interrupts. + +Because the MU manages the messaging between processors, the MU uses +different clocks (from each side of the different peripheral buses). +Therefore, the MU must synchronize the accesses from one side to the +other. The MU accomplishes synchronization using two sets of matching +registers (Processor A-facing, Processor B-facing). + +Messaging Unit Device Node: +============================= + +Required properties: +------------------- +- compatible : should be "fsl,-mu", the supported chips include + imx8qxp, imx8qm. +- reg : Should contain the registers location and length +- interrupts : Interrupt number.
