you could make it the other way around. For each registered
platform_device you instantiate one mailbox and add it to the list on
the fly, you would probably like to use a list_head for that also
instead of having your own list implementation.
if you do that, you leave the mbox "instantiation" up to the
platform_device code. You would simply register several omap-mbox with a
different id for each mbox you need. Then the name could be sent using a
well-defined platform_data. Just a suggestion.
