Sorry for the slow review.

Isn't the mailbox an internal implementation detail of the XUSB controller.

In other words, I'd naively think that there isn't a standalone generic
mailbox that can be used by anything, but we just happen to want to use
for XUSB. Rather, there's an XUSB controller, and part of the interface
to that controller is a mailbox.

As such, I don't think we want a standalone mailbox node in DT. Rather,
we should add the required reg and interrupt values into the XUSB DT node.

The driver for that XUSB HW module can either:

a) Register as both a mailbox driver and an EHCI driver.

b) Spawn a child device to instantiate the mailbox driver.

Perhaps (b) could be assisted by using the MFD framework?
