That's unfortunate. Really, ti,mbox-tx/rx should have been the mbox
cells with 2 entries (rx and tx)...

Ugg, yes. What I'm working on is getting validation on dtb files to
work. That means the dts <> are lost and we have to either parse the
properties properly (look up #foo-cells) or use __fixups__ to find
unresolved phandles (the case for most examples). The latter works
most of the time except a few cases like above. So the fix here is to
add a mbox provider node to the example.
