[PATCH V3 1/5] dt-bindings: mailbox: allow mbox-cells to be equal to 0
From: Dong Aisheng
Date: Fri Jun 22 2018 - 10:14:53 EST
Mailbox devices may have only one channel which means the mbox-cells
at least 1 does not make sense for this type devices. Let's remove
that limitation to allow the mbox-cells to be equal to 0.
