Hi everyone,

This is v5 of my VCP mailbox driver.

Changes since v5:
- bindngs:
- Patch 1 fix 'make dt_binding_check' errors.

Changes since v4:
- binding:
- Match the binding file name and compatible.
- mtk-vcp-mailbox.c:
- Drop 'dev_dbg(dev, "MTK VCP mailbox initialized\n")'.
- Since the reviewer hopes to combine the VCP IPC driver and
the VCP driver for a unified review, the original three patches
have been split into two parts: the VCP mailbox driver and
the binding remain together, while the VCP IPC driver is merged
with the VCP driver and submitted as one.

Changes since v3:
- binding:
- Remove unused lable '|' and 'vcp_mailbox0'.

In the v2 version, there is ongoing discussion about whether the VCP's
IPC should use mailbox or rpmsg. To prevent the discussion records
from being lost, the previous discussion link is attached.
