This node describes the "apcs kpss global"-block.

This node describes that your implementation is split in two different
drivers.

In other words, I think you should add the two clock properties to the
apcs node, rather than adding a subnode. I also think you can make the
mailbox driver implement the clock given the 8916 compatible.
