Subject: [PATCH V4 1/5] dt-bindings: mailbox: allow mbox-cells to be equal to 0
Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2018 22:56:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1531061817-1980-2-git-send-email-aisheng.dong@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1531061817-1980-1-git-send-email-aisheng.dong@nxp.com>
Mailbox devices may have only one channel which means the mbox-cells
at least 1 does not make sense for this type devices. Let's remove
that limitation to allow the mbox-cells to be equal to 0.
