On AM33XX, the mailbox module between the MPU and the
WKUP-M3 co-processor facilitates a one-way communication.
MPU uses the assigned mailbox sub-module to issue the
interrupt to the WKUP-M3 co-processor which then goes
and reads the the IPC data from registers in the control
module.

WKUP-M3 is in the L4_WKUP and does not have any access to
the mailbox module. Due to this limitation, the MPU is
completely responsible for FIFO maintenance and interrupt
generation. MPU needs to ensure that the FIFO does not
overflow by reading back the assigned mailbox sub-module.

This patch adds an API in the mailbox code which the MPU
can use to empty the FIFO by issuing a readback command.

Note: This patch which will be slightly reworked once the mailbox
driver changes are finalized.

Can you expand a bit please ?

Just look at the kernel doc style for above

Rest looks fine.
