+description:
+ The Apple mailbox consists of two FIFOs used to exchange 64+32 bit
+ messages between the main CPU and a co-processor. Multiple instances
+ of this mailbox can be found on Apple SoCs.
+ One of the two FIFOs is used to send data to a co-processor while the other
+ FIFO is used for the other direction.
+ Various clients implement different IPC protocols based on these simple
+ messages and shared memory buffers.
