Well the binding is already done and this is the compatible string for
this node and register region. Sounds like this node is a mailbox plus
some more stuff in the same page.


Bjorn already noticed ^^ during the
original review. Hence the compatible
was correctly named "apss-shared"
instead of following the older bindings.

Why isn't a single regmap correct? The PDC driver should be able to use
it to read/write into this register space. The lock on the regmap will
need to be changed to a raw lock though for RT. Otherwise it looks OK to
me.
