[PATCH v2 10/13] mailbox: create dbx500 mailbox driver

[Mark Rutland]

Hello,

I have a few comments on the devicetree binding and the way it's parsed.

The binding for the compatible strings above and property parsing below should
be documented.

I see that legacy_offset is initialised to 0, and there's no check on the
return value of of_property_read_u32. Does that mean this is an optional
property? This needs to be documented.

> +                       of_property_read_u32(np, "upap-offset", &upap_offset);

However, upap_offset isn't initialised, but there's no check on the return
value. If "upap-offset" isn't defined in the dt, upap_offset won't have been
initialised. 

Is there no basic sanity checking that could be done here? I assume there's a
maximum offset we expect that's less than 4GB?

Additionally, of_property_read_u32 takes a *u32, not *int. It would be nice to
be consistent with the interface.

I'm not familiar with the hardware. What's the difference between the legacy
and upap cases?

Does this work for dt? I wasn't aware we got anything more than anonymous
memory and interrupts.

Same here.

Thanks,
