[PATCH V3 1/5] dt-bindings: mailbox: allow mbox-cells to be equal to 0

From: aisheng.dong@nxp.com (Dong Aisheng)
Date: 2018-06-22 14:14:51
Also in: linux-devicetree, lkml
Subsystem: mailbox api, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Jassi Brar, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

Mailbox devices may have only one channel which means the mbox-cells
at least 1 does not make sense for this type devices. Let's remove
that limitation to allow the mbox-cells to be equal to 0.
