To allow mailbox driver to function with device tree.

Tested in OMAP4 and OMAP3. OMAP2 untested.

I think the mailbox code needs a cleanup similar to what you
had proposed earlier [1] before the device tree support is added.

I believe the cleanup needs to be there, but this is generic enough to
support DT as it is.

We probably need to decide whether the number of mailbox sub-modules
should be part of hwmod attribute or come from device tree.

All the data is currently coming from hwmod, so I don't see why this
must be split now between hwmod and DT, but I'm open for suggestions.

IMO the
static allocation of the mailboxes is better suited in the device-tree
data.

If possible I wouldn't want to tie use case specifics to DT or hwmod,
the whole point for the cleanup was to allow a dynamic mailbox
allocation and not statically assign them.

Omar
