MSM8976 supports SMSM, which needs this node to also be a syscon:
move the compatible to allow that.

Fixes: bcc8d70f912d ("dt-bindings: mailbox: Add compatible for the MSM8976")

I am not sure if this is still a bug. Maybe just a missing feature?


This changes how you use this mailbox across the entire devicetree (as other
nodes will not use mboxes = xxxx, but qcom,ipc = xxxx as syscon), so I think
that this is not a missing feature?

Whether it is a bug depends on existing usage. If none of msm8976 DTSes
use it the other way, then it is just incomplete or missing support. Not
a bug. If existing DTSes use it as syscon, thus you need to add syscon
to compatible, then it would be a bugfix.


It's not a bugfix then. The Fixes tag shall be dropped.

Same question like the other commit, should I send a v3 or can it be dropped while
applying?
