I had another idea the other day. Maybe a better approach would be to
make the mailbox or SCM code an interrupt controller with the
appropriate functions to poke the bits necessary to make the interrupts
work. Then we can make it a chip in the hierarchy between the GIC and
PDC and make the interrupts call through from PDC to GIC. The locking
could be handled in each respective driver if necessary, and otherwise
we don't have to use a regmap or remap the same registers (except we may
need to describe if the parent is the mailbox node or the scm fimware
node).
