+The APM X-Gene SLIMpro mailbox is used to communicate messages between
+the ARM64 processors and the Cortex M3 (dubbed SLIMpro). It uses a simple
+interrupt based door bell mechanism and can exchange simple messages using the
+internal registers.
+
+There are total of 7 interrupts in this mailbox. Each used for an individual
+door bell (or mailbox channel).
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:	Should be as "apm, xgene-slimpro-mbox".
+
+- reg:		Contain the mailbox register address range.
+
+- interrupts:	7 interrupts must start from 0 to 6, interrupt 0 define the
+		the interrupt for mailbox channel 0 and interrupt 1 for
+		mailbox channel 1 and so likewise for the reminder.
+
+- #mbox-cells:	only one to specify the mailbox channel number.
+
+Example:
+
+Mailbox Node:
+		slimpro-mbox: slimpro-mbox@10540000 {
+			compatible = "apm,xgene-slimpro-mbox";
+			reg = <0x0 0x10540000 0x0 0xa000>;
+			#mbox-cells = <1>;
+			interrupts =  	<0x0 0x0 0x4>,
+					<0x0 0x1 0x4>,
+					<0x0 0x2 0x4>,
+					<0x0 0x3 0x4>,
+					<0x0 0x4 0x4>,
+					<0x0 0x5 0x4>,
+					<0x0 0x6 0x4>,
+		};
