From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When the binding for this was originally written, and later modified,
mistakes were made - and the precise nature of the later modification
should have been a giveaway, but alas I was naive at the time.
A more correct modelling of the hardware is to use two syscons and have
a single reg entry for the mailbox, containing the mailbox region. The
two syscons contain the general control/status registers for the mailbox
and the interrupt related registers respectively. The reason for two
syscons is that the same mailbox is present on the non-SoC version of
the FPGA, which has no interrupt controller, and the shared part of the
rtl was unchanged between devices.
This is now coming to a head, because the control/status registers share
a register region with the "tvs" (temperature & voltage sensors)
registers and, as it turns out, people do want to monitor temperatures
and voltages...
