Please make shared-sram a property of user drivers.
Location and size of shared-memory is a platform property, mailbox controller doesn't need sram to function. For example, protocol on some platform, with this controller, may be trivial enough to not need a shared sram... say only 32-bits wide requests and responses which can be passed via mailbox registers directly. mbox_client.tx_prepare() is where the user driver sets up the shared-memory.
