Firmware versions >= 2019.2 do not configure the channel via the mailbox interface anymore, but use a separate chunk of memory that is only referenced by the message. As the configuration must be in a format that is understood by the firmware and this format can change between firmware versions, handle it similar to the message and treat is as a blob. In order to support both methods in the driver, always use a separate blob for the channel configuration and copy that blob into the mailbox if the firmware requires it and otherwise reference it.

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.
