Wouldn't it be easier to change the omap_mbox_device_find() function to
take a phandle argument directly? You shouldn't have to walk all
nodes in the system, or match it by name if you already have the 
device node.

Also, the xlate function is normally the place where you read out
the other arguments and set them as members in your omap_mbox
structure.
