In particular, this means don't do a "samsung,mbox-names" property. The current consensus seems to be to have a #mbox-cells" property that allows to pass extra parameters from the client driver, and uses an "mboxes" property to reference the mailbox provided. It would be good if you follow up for the subsystem discussion and ensure it gets merged in time, and supports all the use cases you are interested in. The interface is not entirely nailed down yet, so it's a good time to contribute. However, I can already promise that it won't use matching by strings.
