When the binding for this was originally written, and later modified, mistakes were made - and the precise nature of the later modification should have been a giveaway, but alas I was naive at the time. A more correct modelling of the hardware is to use two syscons and have a single reg entry for the mailbox, containing the mailbox region. The two syscons contain the general control/status registers for the mailbox and the interrupt related registers respectively. The reason for two syscons is that the same mailbox is present on the non-SoC version of the FPGA, which has no interrupt controller, and the shared part of the rtl was unchanged between devices. This is now coming to a head, because the control/status registers share a register region with the "tvs" (temperature & voltage sensors) registers and, as it turns out, people do want to monitor temperatures and voltages...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
