Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: mailbox: xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-mailbox: Document msg region requirement
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2025 10:16:53 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251222044653.1757886-1-harini.t@amd.com> (raw)

Add description clarifying that for Versal IPI mailboxes, both host and
remote agents must have the "msg" register region defined for successful
message passing. Without both, only notification-based communication
works.
