+
+description:
+  ASPEED AST2700 has multiple processors that need to communicate with each
+  other. The mailbox controller provides a way for these processors to send
+  messages to each other. It is a hardware-based inter-processor communication
+  mechanism that allows processors to send and receive messages through
+  dedicated channels.
+  The mailbox's tx/rx are independent, meaning that one processor can send a
+  message while another processor is receiving a message simultaneously.
+  There are 4 channels available for both tx and rx operations. Each channel
+  has a FIFO buffer that can hold messages of a fixed size (32 bytes in this
+  case).
+  The mailbox controller also supports interrupt generation, allowing
+  processors to notify each other when a message is available or when an event
+  occurs.
