Take a shot at converting the last driver that requires direct
"qcom,ipc*" syscon references in devicetree by allowing the smsm driver
to use the mailbox interface to achieve the same effect.

I'm not very happy about how the devicetree change looks in the end.
Perhaps it's better to use mbox-names to not have <0> elements in dt,
and reference the items by name from the driver?

e.g. this change for msm8226 could be represented differently.

-		qcom,ipc-1 = <&apcs 8 13>;
-		qcom,ipc-2 = <&apcs 8 9>;
-		qcom,ipc-3 = <&apcs 8 19>;
+		mboxes = <0>, <&apcs 13>, <&apcs 9>, <&apcs 19>;

vs. for example:

-		qcom,ipc-1 = <&apcs 8 13>;
-		qcom,ipc-2 = <&apcs 8 9>;
-		qcom,ipc-3 = <&apcs 8 19>;
+		mboxes = <&apcs 13>, <&apcs 9>, <&apcs 19>;
+		mbox-names = "ipc-1", "ipc-2", "ipc-3";

But also here the name with 'ipc-N' is probably not particularly
fitting?

Please let me know your thoughts and any suggestions.
