Pull mailbox framework from Jassi Brar:
 "A framework for Mailbox controllers and clients have been cooking for
  more than a year now.

  Everybody in the CC list had been copied on patchset revisions and
  most of them have made sounds of approval, though just one concrete
  Reviewed-by.  The patchset has also been in linux-next for a couple of
  weeks now and no conflict has been reported.  The framework has the
  backing of at least 5 platforms, though I can't say if/when they
  upstream their drivers (some businesses have 'changed')"

(Further acked-by by Arnd Bergmann and Suman Anna in the pull request
thread)

+* Generic Mailbox Controller and client driver bindings
+
+Generic binding to provide a way for Mailbox controller drivers to
+assign appropriate mailbox channel to client drivers.
+
+* Mailbox Controller
+
+Required property:
+- #mbox-cells: Must be at least 1. Number of cells in a mailbox
+		specifier.
+
+Example:
+	mailbox: mailbox {
+		...
+		#mbox-cells = <1>;
+	};
+
+
+* Mailbox Client
+
+Required property:
+- mboxes: List of phandle and mailbox channel specifiers.
+
+Optional property:
+- mbox-names: List of identifier strings for each mailbox channel
+		required by the client. The use of this property
+		is discouraged in favor of using index in list of
+		'mboxes' while requesting a mailbox. Instead the
+		platforms may define channel indices, in DT headers,
+		to something legible.
+
+Example:
+	pwr_cntrl: power {
+		...
+		mbox-names = "pwr-ctrl", "rpc";
+		mboxes = <&mailbox 0
+			&mailbox 1>;
+	};

+		The Common Mailbox Framework
+		Jassi Brar <[email protected]>
+
+ This document aims to help developers write client and controller
+drivers for the API. But before we start, let us note that the
+client (especially) and controller drivers are likely going to be
+very platform specific because the remote firmware is likely to be
+proprietary and implement non-standard protocol. So even if two
+platforms employ, say, PL320 controller, the client drivers can't
+be shared across them. Even the PL320 driver might need to accommodate
+some platform specific quirks. So the API is meant mainly to avoid
+similar copies of code written for each platform. Having said that,
+nothing prevents the remote f/w to also be Linux based and use the
+same api there. However none of that helps us locally because we only
+ever deal at client's protocol level.
+ Some of the choices made during implementation are the result of this
+peculiarity of this "common" framework.
+
+
+
+	Part 1 - Controller Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_controller.h)
+
+ Allocate mbox_controller and the array of mbox_chan.
+Populate mbox_chan_ops, except peek_data() all are mandatory.
+The controller driver might know a message has been consumed
+by the remote by getting an IRQ or polling some hardware flag
+or it can never know (the client knows by way of the protocol).
+The method in order of preference is IRQ -> Poll -> None, which
+the controller driver should set via 'txdone_irq' or 'txdone_poll'
+or neither.
+
+
+	Part 2 - Client Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_client.h)
+
+ The client might want to operate in blocking mode (synchronously
+send a message through before returning) or non-blocking/async mode (submit
+a message and a callback function to the API and return immediately).
