    Subject[PATCH v5 01/20] dt-bindings: mailbox: add support for mailbox client shared memory
    Date
    Many users of the mailbox controllers depend on the shared memory
    between the two end points to exchange the main data while using simple
    doorbell mechanism to alert the end points of the presence of a message.

    This patch defines device tree bindings to represent such shared memory
    in a generic way.
