channel via some other mechanism.

mailbox: Support blocking transfers in atomic context

The mailbox framework supports blocking transfers via completions for
clients that can sleep. In order to support blocking transfers in cases
where the transmission is not permitted to sleep, add a new ->flush()
callback that controller drivers can implement to busy loop until the
transmission has been completed. A new mbox_flush() function can be
called by mailbox consumers in atomic context to make sure a transfer
has completed.

mailbox: Add ability for clients to request channels by name

This patch supplies a new framework API; mbox_request_channel_byname().

It works by supplying the usual client pointer as the first argument and
a string as the second. The API will search the client's node for a
'mbox-names' property then request a channel in the normal way using the
requested string's index as the expected second 'index' argument.

mailbox: add tx_prepare client callback

If the mailbox controller expects the payload is in place before
initiating the transmit, then it's impossible to reuse the list
maintained by core mailbox code currently. Maintaining another list
for sending the message in the controller seems totally unnecessary
as core mailbox library already provides that feature.

This patch introduces tx_prepare callback in mbox_client which
can be used by the core mailbox library before initiating the
transaction through mbox->ops->send_data. The client driver can
implement this callback to ensure the payload is copied to the
shared memory.

mailbox: Introduce framework for mailbox

Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and
controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC).

Client driver developers should have a look at
include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of
the API exposed to client drivers.
Similarly controller driver developers should have a look
at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h
