+Altera Mailbox Driver
+=====================
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "altr,mailbox-1.0".
+- reg : physical base address of the mailbox and length of
+ memory mapped region.
+- #mbox-cells: Common mailbox binding property to identify the number
+ of cells required for the mailbox specifier. Should be 1.
+
+Optional properties:
+- interrupts : interrupt number. The interrupt specifier format
+ depends on the interrupt controller parent.
+
+Example:
+ mbox_tx: mailbox@100 {
+ compatible = "altr,mailbox-1.0";
+ reg = <0x100 0x8>;
+ interrupt-parent = < &gic_0 >;
+ interrupts = <5>;
+ #mbox-cells = <1>;
+ };
+
+ mbox_rx: mailbox@200 {
+ compatible = "altr,mailbox-1.0";
+ reg = <0x200 0x8>;
+ interrupt-parent = < &gic_0 >;
+ interrupts = <6>;
+ #mbox-cells = <1>;
+ };
+
+Mailbox client
+===============
+"mboxes" and the optional "mbox-names" (please see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt for details). Each value
+of the mboxes property should contain a phandle to the mailbox controller
+device node and second argument is the channel index. It must be 0 (hardware
+support only one channel).The equivalent "mbox-names" property value can be
+used to give a name to the communication channel to be used by the client user.
+
+Example:
+ mclient0: mclient0@400 {
+ compatible = "client-1.0";
+ reg = <0x400 0x10>;
+ mbox-names = "mbox-tx", "mbox-rx";
+ mboxes = <&mbox_tx 0>,
+ <&mbox_rx 0>;
+ };
