Description
***********



.. code-block:: none

   NXP Mailbox Unit as Zephyr MBOX.

   This NXP Mailbox driver implements Multi-Channel Inter-Processor Mailbox (MBOX) API
   around NXP Inter-CPU Mailbox peripheral IP block.

   The NXP Inter-CPU Mailbox provides up to thirty-two user defined interrupts.
   This driver uses 4 interrupts for mbox signalling mode per each channel,
   4 interrupts for mxbox data transfer mode per each channel and 24 as 3 bytes
   for data.

Properties
**********

.. tabs::

   .. group-tab:: Node specific properties

      Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

      .. list-table::
         :widths: 1 1 4
         :header-rows: 1

         * - Name
           - Type
           - Details

         * - ``rx-channels``
           - ``int``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Number of receive channels enabled on this instance.
                Setting this value to N, will enable channels 0 to N-1, consecutively.
                It should be set by the receiver core coupled with this Mailbox instance.

                For example, if receiver A wants to Rx on channels 0 to 3, then A must
                set rx-channels of mailbox as follows:

                  mbox {
                    rx-channels = <4>;
                    status = "okay";
                  };

   .. group-tab:: Base properties

      Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines
      common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these
      may apply to the "nxp,mbox-mailbox" compatible.

                wake up the system.

                Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
