I think we should get rid of consumer specifics from the provider node...

... and have consumers like
       pmmc {
               ...
               mbox-names = "tx", "rx";
               mboxes = <&msgmgr 0 0>
                        <&msgmgr 5 2>;
       };

I leave the IRQ for you to decide how to specify - a 'dummy' or
'valid' always provided as last cell in mboxes or some other way.
(I'll review other patches in detail later)

cheers.
