We have 3 APCS global instances.  I haven't got time to send out other
related patches, but the DT for these 3 APCS global looks like below.

                apcs2: mailbox@b1d1000 {
                        compatible = "qcom,msm8916-apcs-kpss-global", "syscon";
                        reg = <0xb1d1000 0x1000>;
                        #mbox-cells = <1>;
                        clocks = <&a53pll_cci>, <&gcc GPLL0_VOTE>;
                        clock-names = "pll", "aux";
                        #clock-cells = <0>;
                        clock-output-names = "a53mux_cci";
                };

                apcs1: mailbox@b011000 {
                        compatible = "qcom,msm8916-apcs-kpss-global", "syscon";
                        reg = <0xb011000 0x1000>;
                        #mbox-cells = <1>;
                        clocks = <&a53pll_c1>, <&gcc GPLL0_VOTE>;
                        clock-names = "pll", "aux";
                        #clock-cells = <0>;
                        clock-output-names = "a53mux_c1";
                };

                apcs0: mailbox@b111000 {
                        compatible = "qcom,msm8916-apcs-kpss-global", "syscon";
                        reg = <0xb111000 0x1000>;
                        #mbox-cells = <1>;
                        clocks = <&a53pll_c0>, <&gcc GPLL0_VOTE>;
                        clock-names = "pll", "aux";
                        #clock-cells = <0>;
                        clock-output-names = "a53mux_c0";
                };
