What driver would use these?
My feeling is that if you have a mailbox that is used by multiple
drivers, you should use a proper mailbox driver to operate them,
and have the drivers register with that API instead of a custom one.

This does not feel appropriate at all: Rather than creating a child device,
you should have a specific driver that hooks into functions exported
by the xhci core. See Documentation/driver-model/design-patterns.txt
