             See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.

         * - ``reg-names``
           - ``string-array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Must contain "send" and "recv", identifying the PBX and MBX
                register regions, respectively.



             This property is **required**.

         * - ``interrupts``
           - ``array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Single interrupt for the receive side.


             This property is **required**.

             See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.

         * - ``status``
           - ``string``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Indicates the operational status of the hardware or other
                resource that the node represents. In particular:

                  - "okay" means the resource is operational and, for example,
                    can be used by device drivers
                  - "disabled" means the resource is not operational and the system
                    should treat it as if it is not present

                For details, see "2.3.4 status" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.



             Legal values: ``okay``, ``disabled``, ``reserved``, ``fail``, ``fail-sss``

             See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.

         * - ``compatible``
           - ``string-array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                This property is a list of strings that essentially define what
                type of hardware or other resource this devicetree node
                represents. Each device driver checks for specific compatible
                property values to find the devicetree nodes that represent
                resources that the driver should manage.

                The recommended format is "vendor,device", The "vendor" part is
                an abbreviated name of the vendor. The "device" is usually from
                the datasheet.

                The compatible property can have multiple values, ordered from
                most- to least-specific. Having additional values is useful when the
                device is a specific instance of a more general family, to allow the
                system to match the most specific driver available.

                For details, see "2.3.1 compatible" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.



             This property is **required**.

             See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.

         * - ``ranges``
           - ``compound``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Information used to define a mapping (or translation) between the address
                space of a bus (the "child address space") and the address space of the
                bus node's parent (the "parent address space").

                The "ranges" property is typically empty, or a sequence of triplets
                (child bus address, parent bus address, length).

                If the "ranges" property is empty, it specifies that the parent and child
                address spaces are identical and no address translation is required.

                If the "ranges" property is not present in a bus node, it is assumed that
                no mapping exists between children of the node and the parent address space.

                For details, see "2.3.8 ranges" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.

                Extended interrupt specifier for device, used as an alternative to
                the "interrupts" property.

                For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
                Devicetree Specification v0.4.



         * - ``interrupt-names``
           - ``string-array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Optional names given to each interrupt generated by a device.
                The interrupts themselves are defined in either "interrupts" or
                "interrupts-extended" properties.

                Devicetree Specification v0.4.

                by this device.
