I don't understand this series. I would understand it if the property
should be related to the mailbox provider and it is moved there from the
mailbox consumer, but this series does not do that. Instead the series
now documents this property for both consumers and providers.

Secondly it removes the typedef from the consumers, which makes no sense
if this is a valid property there.

Is your intention to document a property that should be common across
all consumers in a single place? If that is your goal, then something
like spi-peripheral-props.yaml is what you need here.

Confused,
Conor.
