Timo Alho 165ce6e01d firmware: tegra: Reword messaging terminology
As a preparatory change to refactor BPMP driver to support other than
Tegra186 and Tegra194 chip generations, reword and slightly refactor
some of the functions to better match with what is actually happening
in the wire-level protocol.

The communication with BPMP is essentially a Remote Procedure Call
consisting of "request" and "response". Either side (BPMP or CPU) can
initiate the communication. The state machine for communication
consists of following steps (from Linux point of view):

Linux initiating the call:
 1) check that channel is free to transmit a request
    (is_request_channel_free)
 2) copy request message payload to shared location
 3) post the request in channel (post_request)
 4) notify BPMP that channel state has been updated (ring_doorbell)
 5) wait for response (is_response_ready)
 6) copy response message payload from shared location
 7) acknowledge the response in channel (ack_response)

BPMP initiating the call:
 1) wait for request (is_request_ready)
 2) copy request message payload from shared location
 3) acknowledge the request in channel (ack_request)
 4) check that channel is free to transmit response
    (is_response_channel_free)
 5) copy response message payload to shared location
 6) post the response message to channel (post_response)
 7) notify BPMP that channel state has been updated (ring_doorbell)

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
