Linux mainline adds Axiado AX3005 mailbox support

New mailbox driver for the Axiado AX3005 SoC, plus a Btrfs maintainers update.

In brief

This update adds a new mailbox controller driver for the Axiado AX3005 SoC, along with its device tree binding. It also updates the Btrfs maintainers file to point to the development branch.

New support

Axiado AX3005 mailbox driver and binding

Adds a device tree binding and driver for the Axiado AX3005 mailbox controller. The hardware provides 8 TX and 8 RX channels through separate register regions, with per-channel interrupts for RX and polling for TX completion.

Why it matters: Enables Linux to use the mailbox hardware on Axiado AX3005 SoCs for host-coprocessor communication.

Update Btrfs git tree entries in MAINTAINERS

Adds a new entry pointing to the Btrfs development branch, while the existing linux-next entry remains slightly behind.
