Hi Greg,

As part of plat-omap code cleanup, I was planning to move omap-mailbox
framework to a newly drivers/mailbox folder, right now this code is
specific to OMAP platforms, but with some clean up it could be the
base for a generic framework. And living under drivers/mailbox could
give it some exposure for interested developers to give feedback and
propose changes.

In the past there was a mailbox-like driver in mach-ux500, I was
hoping both could live under the same folder, however the platform
using it, was dropped a couple of kernel releases back and with it the
other similar mailbox implementation.

So, here it is the thread with the patches:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1384603, if you think it is
OK for them to be moved under drivers/mailbox, I just need to re-spin
them to move the mailbox header file to include/linux/mailbox instead
of include/linux/platform_data.

Cheers,

Omar
