v2: Split into a separate patch for submitting to the devicetree list.
    Consistently start node docs with a capital letter. device's
    address in the example shouldn't have "0x". Drop machine-specific
    interrupt numbers from the docs.  (changes by anholt).

v3: Move the file to just bcm2835-mbox.txt, clean up formatting
    (changes by anholt, from review by Lee Jones).

v4: Move file back by consensus from various Broadcom platform
    maintainers (changes by anholt, acked by Lee Jones).
