This device uses a mailbox compatible with the OMAP Mailbox, as defined
in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/ti,omap-mailbox.yaml.

I note that documents title reads "TI OMAP2+ and K3 Mailbox devices".
I'll drop the "OMAP" here.

Up to 8 regions can be specified with their purpose determined by the
firmware running on the M4F core. The suggestion (and the
implementation in the example firmware) is to use the first 2 regions
as defined above for remoteproc with the others available to be used
for other purposes if necessary. The address translation module used
can cope with up to 8 regions.
