Thanks.

Thanks

I was wondering if it makes sense to have an interrupt name not
mentioning the exact mailbox numbers, so that the same interrupt name
can be used for a different IP core, too. On the coldfire SoC the 1st
IRQ handles mailboxes 0...15.

Sorry, I misread the interrupt names and was under the misconception
that the interrupt names have a different order than the interrupt
descriptions.

That makes totally sense!

looks good to me!
