OMAP and ST-Ericsson platforms are both using mailbox to communicate
with some coprocessors.
Based on OMAP existing mailbox framework, this series proposes a
generic framework, living under drivers/mailbox.

I like this patch series so you have my Acked-by.

Since it's a new subsystem and affects a few ARM architectures can
we merge this into the ARM SoC tree once we have consensus,
so we get some rotation in linux-next that way?

Yes good idea.

Olof/Arnd?

I suggest we set up an immutable branch against
v3.8-rc1 when it's out with only these patches in it.
Then we can all merge it in as needed. Maybe Arnd or
Olof can set up the branch?

I haven't reviewed the patches yet, but this flow sounds reasonable to me.

FYI, looks like I need to merge in this branch too to
avoid build errors with remoteproc enabled once I flip
on the multiplatform support for omap2+.

While we can make the branch stable, would it make sense to make
remoteproc for omap depend on !multiplatform during the transition, to
reduce dependencies a little? Either way works, but it'd be nice to
keep them independent if we can.
