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.

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
