> This driver will provide support for calls into the firmware that will
> be used by other drivers like cpufreq and vc4.
> 
> v2: Improve commit message, point to mailbox.txt for how mboxes work.
> v3: Use Lee's suggestion for mailbox phandle docs, fix spelling of
>     "raspberry".
> v4: Change the compatible string to "raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware"
>     (requested by Lee, agreed by Stephen)

> Acked-by: Stephen Warren <swarren at wwwdotorg.org>
