Isn't the mailbox an internal implementation detail of the XUSB controller. In other words, I'd naively think that there isn't a standalone generic mailbox that can be used by anything, but we just happen to want to use for XUSB. Rather, there's an XUSB controller, and part of the interface to that controller is a mailbox. As such, I don't think we want a standalone mailbox node in DT. Rather, we should add the required reg and interrupt values into the XUSB DT node. The driver for that XUSB HW module can either: a) Register as both a mailbox driver and an EHCI driver. b) Spawn a child device to instantiate the mailbox driver. Perhaps (b) could be assisted by using the MFD framework? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
