Please make shared-sram a property of user drivers.

Location and size of shared-memory is a platform property, mailbox
controller doesn't need sram to function.
  For example, protocol on some platform, with this controller, may be
trivial enough to not need a shared sram... say only 32-bits wide
requests and responses which can be passed via mailbox registers
directly.   mbox_client.tx_prepare() is where the user driver sets up
the shared-memory.
