Hi Rob,

Thanks for reviews. This does not break backward compatibility yet as

relative zynqmp mailbox driver isn't expecting compatible property.

But, any new functionality should consider using it.

I will explain this in commit message in next revision. Other than that, I hope it's

correct to add such compatible property to identify the node.


Thanks,

Tanmay
