+Mailbox Users:
+==============
+A device needing to communicate with a target processor device should specify
+them using the common mailbox binding properties, "mboxes" and the optional
+"mbox-names" (please see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
+for details). Each value of the mboxes property should contain a phandle to the
+mailbox controller device node and an args specifier that will be the phandle to
+the intended sub-mailbox child node to be used for communication. The equivalent
+"mbox-names" property value can be used to give a name to the communication channel
+to be used by the client user.
