+Xilinx IPI Mailbox Driver
+========================================
+
+The Xilinx IPI(Inter Processor Interrupt) mailbox driver is a mailbox
+controller that manages the messaging between two Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+
+MPSoC IPI agents. Each IPI agent owns registers used for notification and
+buffers for message.

+
+Controller Device Node:
+===========================
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+- compatible:		Shall be: "xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-mailbox"
+- reg:			IPI buffers address range
+- reg-names:		Names of the reg resources
+- #mbox-cells:		Shall be 1. It contains:
+			* tx(0) or rx(1) channel
+- ipi-ids:		IPI agent IDs of the two ends of the
+			communication.
+- interrupt-parent:	Phandle for the interrupt controller
+- interrupts:		Interrupt information corresponding to the
+			interrupt-names property.
+
+Optional properties:
+--------------------
+- method:              The method of accessing the IPI agent registers.
+                       Permitted values are: "smc" and "hvc". Default is
+                       "smc".
+
+Client Device Node:
+===========================
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+- mboxes:		Standard property to specify a mailbox
+			(See ./mailbox.txt)
+- mbox-names:		List of identifier  strings for each mailbox
+			channel.
+
+Example:
+===========================
+	/* APU IPI mailbox driver */
