[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] ARM: bcm2835: add mailbox driver

The BCM2835 SoC contains (at least) two CPUs; the VideoCore (a/k/a "GPU")
and the ARM CPU. The ARM CPU is often thought of as the main CPU.
However, the VideoCore actually controls the initial SoC boot, and hides
much of the hardware behind a protocol. This protocol is transported
using the SoC's mailbox hardware module. The mailbox supports two forms
of communication: Raw 28-bit values, and a so-called "property"
interface, where the 28-bit value is a physical pointer to a memory
buffer that contains various "tags".

Here, we add a very simplistic driver for the mailbox module, and define
a few structures for the property messages.
