Just realized that I haven't included a summary of changes for v2.
Here it is:

v2:
 - fixed thead,th1520-mbox.yaml binding file by dropping redundant
   descriptions, renaming reg-names, removing unnecessary clocks,
   providing constraints and defining ICU's
 - fixed the mailbox driver code to work well with updated binding-file,
   removed clocks support, as it's not necessary for mailbox to work
 - adjusted the device tree node instance of mbox_910t so it will work
   with updated bindings file
