The driver data structure for managing a mailbox command contained two context fields. Unfortunately, the context were considered "generic" to be used at the whim of the command code. Of course, one section of code used fields this way, while another did it that way, and eventually there were mixups. Refactored the structure so that the generic contexts become a node context and a buffer context and all code standardizes on their use.

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.
