In this and the other error messages it's probably worth doing something
like a dev_ print with the device in the mbox_controller - if there's
more than one mailbox controller in the system it may well make
someone's life easier to get a hint about which one is running into
trouble. Similarly if there were some identification for the channels
that might be useful to display that (perhaps add a name field people
can initialize if they like in the struct?).

This is clearly not a blocker for merge though.
