[RFC PATCH 0/7] OMAP: mailbox: removing static declarations

Hi,

This is the first attempt in making the omap mailbox framework generic
enough to support other mailbox drivers, in this series the way the mailbox
are defined and registered is changed to support requests of mailboxes through
an id. So far, the mailbox static declarations have been removed allowing
a dynamic mailbox configuration.

The next steps would involve removing omap references in the code and omap
specific fields (like "type" embedded in the operations structure) along with
a trivial cleanup.

The end goal would be moving the mailbox driver into drivers folder and also
converting other mailbox drivers to reuse this code, the first candidate being
ux-500 mailbox driver (arch/arm/mach-ux500/mbox-db5500.c).

Tested using one patch on top of Kevin Hilman mailbox loopback test, can be
found at: https://gitorious.org/~or.rmz/omap-test/mbox-test-clone

If accepted patches 5 to 7 should be a single patch, to avoid compilation issues.

I'll appreciate any comments or suggestions.
