+ST Microelectronics Mailbox Driver
+
+Each ST Mailbox IP currently consists of 4 instances of 32 channels. Messages
+are passed between Application and Remote processors using shared memory.
+
+Controller
+----------
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "st,stih407-mailbox"
+- reg : Offset and length of the device's register set
+- mbox-name : Name of the mailbox
+- #mbox-cells: : Must be 3
+ <&phandle instance channel direction>
+ phandle : Label name of controller
+ instance : Instance number
+ channel : Channel number
+ direction : Data flow direction; MBOX_TX or MBOX_RX
+
+Optional properties
+- interrupts : Contains the IRQ line for a Rx mailbox
+ [NB: The absence of this property denotes Tx only]
+
+Example:
+
+mailbox0: mailbox at 0 {
+ compatible = "st,stih407-mailbox";
+ reg = <0x8f00000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 1 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>;
+ #mbox-cells = <3>;
+ mbox-name = "a9";
+};
+
+Client
+------
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Many (See the client docs)
+- reg : Shared (between Application and Remote) memory address
+- mboxes : Standard property to specify a Mailbox (See ./mailbox.txt)
+ Cells must match 'mbox-cells' (See Controller docs above)
+
+Optional properties
+- mbox-names : Name given to channels seen in the 'mboxes' property.
+
+Example:
+
+mailbox_test {
+ compatible = "mailbox_test";
+ reg = <0x[shared_memory_address], [shared_memory_size]>;
+ mboxes = <&mailbox2 0 1 MBOX_TX>, <&mailbox0 2 1 MBOX_RX>;
+ mbox-names = "tx", "rx";
+};
