Thanks Ohad, It looks like this patch is missing from the arago-project linux-omap3 code base.
We've been using the most recent release - T1816XPSP_04.00.00.12. What would the procedure be to get this patch applied to the arago-project?

You're probably missing the following patch from Kevin: commit c03773206bf2249a890c4d420ed32ef500630095 Author: Kevin Hilman <khil...@ti.com> Date: Fri Feb 11 19:56:43 2011 +0000 OMAP2+: mailbox: fix lookups for multiple mailboxes The pointer math in omap_mbox_get() is not quite right, and leads to passing NULL to strcmp() when searching for an mbox that is not first in the list. Convert to using array indexing as is done in all the other functions which walk the mbox list.
