[ Upstream commit 0d1aadfe10ba17ebdeb96abb9638eb0f623f9b55 ] The mailbox offset is not only used for receiving messages, but it is also used by messages sent to the system controller by Linux that have a payload, such as the "digital signature service". It is also overloaded by certain other services (reprogramming of the FPGA fabric, see Link:) to have a meaning other than the offset the system controller should read from. When the driver was written, no such services of the latter type were in use & those of the former used an offset of zero so this has gone un-noticed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
