Will correct it as 2.

"mediatek,gce" should be added to all clients which ask gce to access 
their registers.

"mboxes" should be added to all clients which will communicate with gce
via mailbox.

For example, if mmsys send cmdq tasks to ask gce to write registers of 
mmsys and ovl, mmsys should have "mediatek,gce" and "mboxes", and ovl
should have "mediatek,gce".

I will explain their difference in GCE's device tree document.
