+The APM X-Gene SLIMpro mailbox is used to communicate messages between
+the ARM64 processors and the Cortex M3 (dubbed SLIMpro). It uses a simple
+interrupt based door bell mechanism and can exchange simple messages using the
+internal registers.
+
+There are total of 7 interrupts in this mailbox. Each used for an individual
+door bell (or mailbox channel).
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be as "apm, xgene-slimpro-mbox".
+
+- reg: Contain the mailbox register address range.
+
+- interrupts: 7 interrupts must start from 0 to 6, interrupt 0 define the
+ the interrupt for mailbox channel 0 and interrupt 1 for
+ mailbox channel 1 and so likewise for the reminder.
+
+- #mbox-cells: only one to specify the mailbox channel number.
+
+Example:
+
+Mailbox Node:
+ slimpro-mbox: slimpro-mbox at 10540000 {
+ compatible = "apm,xgene-slimpro-mbox";
+ reg = <0x0 0x10540000 0x0 0xa000>;
+ #mbox-cells = <1>;
+ interrupts = <0x0 0x0 0x4>,
+ <0x0 0x1 0x4>,
+ <0x0 0x2 0x4>,
+ <0x0 0x3 0x4>,
+ <0x0 0x4 0x4>,
+ <0x0 0x5 0x4>,
+ <0x0 0x6 0x4>,
+ };
