personally I don't like this patch since it makes the C-sources rely on 
indirect header inclusion by another header. That's really error prone 
and will cause build failures if someone decides to remove the include 
<linux/device.h> from plat/mailbox.h.

Those headers are safe against multiple inclusions and I think they 
should be included directly in all source files (header or not) that 
need any symbols from it.
