| - mbox-name : Name of the mailbox |
| - #mbox-cells: : Must be 2 |
| <&phandle instance channel direction> |
| phandle : Label name of controller |
| instance : Instance number |

| mailbox0: mailbox@0 { |
| compatible = "st,stih407-mailbox"; |
| reg = <0x08f00000 0x1000>; |
| interrupts = <GIC_SPI 1 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>; |

| Required properties: |
| - compatible : Many (See the client docs) |
| - reg : Shared (between Application and Remote) memory address |

| |
| Example: |

| mailbox_test { |
| compatible = "mailbox_test"; |
| reg = <0x[shared_memory_address], [shared_memory_size]>; |
| mboxes = <&mailbox2 0 1>, <&mailbox0 2 1>; |
| mbox-names = "tx", "rx"; |
| }; |
