[PATCH v2 0/2] Support mailbox interface in qcom,smsm driver

[Luca Weiss]

Take a shot at converting the last driver that requires direct
"qcom,ipc*" syscon references in devicetree by allowing the smsm driver
to use the mailbox interface to achieve the same effect.

Still not sure if the devicetree bindings are the prettiest but they're
functional.

One alternative I'm thinking of is to use mbox-names to not have <0>
elements in dt, and reference the items by name from the driver?

e.g. this change for msm8226 could be represented differently.

-		qcom,ipc-1 = <&apcs 8 13>;
-		qcom,ipc-2 = <&apcs 8 9>;
-		qcom,ipc-3 = <&apcs 8 19>;
+		mboxes = <0>, <&apcs 13>, <&apcs 9>, <&apcs 19>;

vs. for example:

-		qcom,ipc-1 = <&apcs 8 13>;
-		qcom,ipc-2 = <&apcs 8 9>;
-		qcom,ipc-3 = <&apcs 8 19>;
+		mboxes = <&apcs 13>, <&apcs 9>, <&apcs 19>;
+		mbox-names = "ipc-1", "ipc-2", "ipc-3";

But also here the name with 'ipc-N' is probably not particularly
fitting?

Please let me know your thoughts and any suggestions.
