It seems very odd that you don't write the data at all but just trigger
the communication here. My interpretation is that you bypass
the mailbox infrastructure for the actual message, and instead reimplement
it on top of the mailbox infrastructure as part of the bpmp driver.

Why not expose the bpmp itself as the mailbox here?
