Provide enough functionality to utilize the mailbox of a memory device. The mailbox is used to interact with the firmware running on the memory device. The flow is proven with one implemented command, "identify". Because the class code has already told the driver this is a memory device and the identify command is mandatory. CXL devices contain an array of capabilities that describe the interactions software can have with the device or firmware running on the device. A CXL compliant device must implement the device status and the mailbox capability. Additionally, a CXL compliant memory device must implement the memory device capability. Each of the capabilities can [will] provide an offset within the MMIO region for interacting with the CXL device. The capabilities tell the driver how to find and map the register space for CXL Memory Devices. The registers are required to utilize the CXL spec defined mailbox interface. The spec outlines two mailboxes, primary and secondary. The secondary mailbox is earmarked for system firmware, and not handled in this driver. Primary mailboxes are capable of generating an interrupt when submitting a background command. That implementation is saved for a later time.

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.
