+APM X-Gene hwmon driver
+
+Hwmon driver accesses sensors over the "SLIMpro" mailbox.
DT bindings describe h/w, not driver data.
How about this description: "APM X-Gene SOC sensors are accessed over
the "SLIMpro" mailbox" ?
I'm not sure this belongs in
DT and perhaps the devices for the mailbox should be created by the
mailbox driver.
I don't think the current mailbox supports it.

+Required properties :
+ - compatible : should be "apm,xgene-slimpro-hwmon"
+ - mboxes : use the label reference for the mailbox as the first parameter.
+         The second parameter is the channel number.
When do you expect this to be different mailbox numbers?
No, this number is not changed. This "mboxes" property is used and
required by mailbox.c when hwmon driver requests a mailbox channel

Thanks and Regards
Hoan
