This looks wrong to me. See below for details.

devres_alloc returns devres->data as ptr above

And ...release is called with devres->data so we need *ptr
in devm_mbox_controller_unregister and not ptr itself something like:

	struct mbox_controller **mbox = res;
	mbox_controller_unregister(*mbox);

With above fixed:
