dt-bindings: mailbox: xlnx,zynqmp-ipi-mailbox: Document msg region requirement
Add description clarifying that for Versal IPI mailboxes, both host and remote agents must have the "msg" register region defined for successful message passing. Without both, only notification-based communication works.

messaging between two Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC IPI agents. Each IPI
agent owns registers used for notification and buffers for message.
+ For Versal devices, there are two types of IPI channels:
+ - Buffered channels: Support message passing and require the "msg"
+ register region to be present on both the host and remote IPI agents.
+ - Buffer-less channels: Support notification only and do not require the
+ "msg" register region. For these channels, the "msg" region should be
+ omitted.
+
+ For message passing, both the host and remote IPI agents must define the "msg"
+ register region. If either agent omits the "msg" region, only notification
+ based communication is possible.
