Not sure if the shared buffer needs to be part of the controller binding as it's not related to it. It's just agreement between the endpoints of this mailbox on particular SoC and IMO has to part of the client binding. Regards, Sudeep
Hi Sudeep, Thanks for review, please see below comment.

Yes, we need distinguish the buffer is really used for channel's management or just only used for client. Here "shared buffer" is used for channels' state machine, mode and raw data with 8 words. So mailbox driver just read/write raw data according to client's requirement, client will define their specific format for data transcation. Thanks, Leo Yan
