soc: qcom: ipa: IPA endpoints
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch includes the code implementing an IPA endpoint.  This is
the primary abstraction implemented by the IPA.  An endpoint is one
end of a network connection between two entities physically
connected to the IPA.  Specifically, the AP and the modem implement
endpoints, and an (AP endpoint, modem endpoint) pair implements the
transfer of network data in one direction between the AP and modem.

Endpoints are built on top of GSI channels, but IPA endpoints
represent the higher-level functionality that the IPA provides.
Data can be sent through a GSI channel, but it is the IPA endpoint
that represents what is on the "other end" to receive that data.
Other functionality, including aggregation, checksum offload and
(at some future date) IP routing and filtering are all associated
with the IPA endpoint.
