+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.
Then add it. The mailbox binding is really only needed when other h/w 
blocks use a mailbox. As this is purely a firmware interface then the 
mailbox driver can create any devices it needs. The devices don't have 
to be in DT to be created.
