Good idea: Print the error code so people can diagnose why things fail.

                printk(KERN_ERR "Could not get mailboxes_ick: %d\n",
                        PTR_ERR(mbox_ick_handle));

And wonder why this hasn't been spotted before.

Rule: always propagate error codes when you have one to propagate.

                return PTR_ERR(mbox_ick_handle);

BTW, in future, please post patches to my linux@ address, not my rmk@
address.  Patches to my rmk@ address tend to be heavily buried.
