+Qualcomm Shared Memory State Machine
+
+The Shared Memory State Machine facilitates broadcasting of single bit state
+information between the processors in a Qualcomm SoC. Each processor is
+assigned 32 bits of state that can be modified. A processor can through a
+matrix of bitmaps signal subscription of notifications upon changes to a
+certain bit owned by a certain remote processor.
+
+- compatible:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: must be one of:
+ "qcom,smsm"
+
+- qcom,ipc-N:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: three entries specifying the outgoing ipc bit used for
+ signaling the N:th remote processor
+ - phandle to a syscon node representing the apcs registers
+ - u32 representing offset to the register within the syscon
+ - u32 representing the ipc bit within the register
+
+- qcom,local-host:
+ Usage: optional
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: identifier of the local processor in the list of hosts, or
+ in other words specifier of the column in the subscription
+ matrix representing the local processor
+ defaults to host 0
+
+- #address-cells:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be 1
+
+- #size-cells:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be 0
+
+= SUBNODES
+Each processor's state bits are described by a subnode of the smsm device node.
+Nodes can either be flagged as an interrupt-controller to denote a remote
+processor's state bits or the local processors bits. The node names are not
+important.
+
+- reg:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: specifies the offset, in words, of the first bit for this
+ entry
+
+- #qcom,state-cells:
+ Usage: required for local entry
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be 1 - denotes bit number
+
+- interrupt-controller:
+ Usage: required for remote entries
+ Value type: <empty>
+ Definition: marks the entry as a interrupt-controller and the state bits
+ to belong to a remote processor
+
+- #interrupt-cells:
+ Usage: required for remote entries
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be 2 - denotes bit number and IRQ flags
+
+- interrupts:
+ Usage: required for remote entries
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: one entry specifying remote IRQ used by the remote processor
+ to signal changes of its state bits
+
+
+= EXAMPLE
+The following example shows the SMEM setup for controlling properties of the
+wireless processor, defined from the 8974 apps processor's point-of-view. It
+encompasses one outbound entry and the outgoing interrupt for the wireless
+processor.

+ compatible = "qcom,smsm";

+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ qcom,ipc-3 = <&apcs 8 19>;
+
+ apps_smsm: apps@0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+
+ #qcom,state-cells = <1>;
+ };
+
+ wcnss_smsm: wcnss@7 {
+ reg = <7>;
+ interrupts = <0 144 1>;
