Before I attempt to upstream this again, I thought I would run it
past this list.
Joel: I'm quite sure what you're carrying in the tree at the moment
is the same plus or minus some whitespace. I've made strong use of
sed to remove any 'mailbox' reference.
If you could double check, thanks.

When I do upstream I'll have a cover-letter which will explain how
Aspeed haven't made our naming lives easy by calling these registers
'mbox'. It makes it impossible to justify calling this driver
anything else but it does expose us to the confusion as to why it
isn't in drivers/mailbox, which really isn't the place for it.

+* Aspeed MBOX Registers
+
+The Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) are commonly used as BMCs
+(BaseBoard Management Controllers) and the MBOX registers can be used
+to perform in-band communication with their host.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be one of
+	"aspeed,ast2400-mbox"
+	"aspeed,ast2500-mbox"
+- reg: physical address and size of the registers
+- interrupts: interrupt number to use for the device
+
+The mbox registers are attached to the LPC bus on AST2400 and AST2500
+platforms, as such the mbox node should exist as a child of the LPC
+node.
+
+Example:
+
+	lpc at 1e789000 {
+		compatible = "aspeed,ast2500-lpc", "simple-mfd";
+		reg = <0x1e789000 0x1000>;
+
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <1>;
+
+		...
+
+		mbox at 180 {
+			compatible = "aspeed,ast2400-mbox";
+			reg = <0x180 0x18>;
+			interrupts = <46>;
+		};
+	};
