The DTS with consumers of this mailbox provider is not included in this
series. Since the mailbox users depend on this driver being upstreamed,
I decided to submit this driver first to gather feedback on whether it
can be accepted upstream. If successful, I will follow up with another
series for the aon driver, which will use this mailbox to send commands
to the E902 core, such as powering the GPU on or off.

The consumer DTS would look something like this:

aon: aon {
	compatible = "thead,th1520-aon";
	mbox-names = "aon";
	mboxes = <&mbox_910t 1 0>;
	status = "okay";

	pd: light-aon-pd {
		compatible = "thead,light-aon-pd";
		#power-domain-cells = <1>;
	};
};

MichaƂ
