Neither. We've known about it since March (including Arnd), but it's
not important. The issue is that #size-cells can't be 0, but the 
AB8500 uses mailboxes not registers, so there is no size per-say. I
have requested that we remove the 'reg' property entirely, as the
Mailbox number is hard-coded, but Arnd wasn't a fan, so we just left
it as-is.

Out of interest, why are you getting 4 errors? Are you building all
of the DTS:es at once?

Kind regards,
Lee
