+On P9, this compression coprocessor also supports standard GZIP/ZLIB
+compression algorithm and format. Virtual Accelerator Swirchboard (VAS) is used
+to access this coprocessor. VAS writes each request to receive FIFOs (RXFIFO)
+which are either high or normal priority  and these FIFOs are bound to
+coprocessor types (842 and gzip).
+
+VAS distinguishes NX requests for the target engines based on logical
+partition ID (lpid), process ID (pid) and Thread ID (tid). So (lpid, pid, tid)
+combination has to be unique in the system. Each NX node contains high and
+normal FIFOs for each  842 and GZIP engines.

+  /ibm,842-normal-fifo		: Normal priority 842 RxFIFO
+  /ibm,gzip-high-fifo		: High priority gzip RxFIFO
+  /ibm,gzip-normal-fifo		: Normal priority gzip RxFIFO
+
+Each RxFIFO node contains: ::
+	compatible		: ibm,p9-nx-842 or ibm,p9-nx-gzip
+	priority		: High or Normal
+	rx-fifo-address		: RxFIFO buffer address
+	rx-fifo-size		: RxFIFO size

+				  register)
+	pid			: Coprocessor type (either 842 or gzip)
+	tid			: counter in each coprocessor type
+
+During initialization, the driver invokes VAS interface for each coprocessor
+type (842 and gzip) to configure the RxFIFO with rx_fifo_address, lpid, pid
+and tid for high and nornmal priority FIFOs.
