commit cb710ab1d8a23f68ff8f45aedf3e552bb90e70de upstream.

We already check if the message is empty before calling the client
tx_done callback. Calling completion on a wait event is also invalid
if the message is empty.

This patch moves the existing empty message check earlier.

<title>mailbox: skip complete wait event if timer expired</title>

commit cc6eeaa3029a6dbcb4ad41b1f92876483bd88965 upstream.

If a wait_for_completion_timeout() call returns due to a timeout,
complete() can get called after returning from the wait which is
incorrect and can cause subsequent transmissions on a channel to fail.
Since the wait_for_completion_timeout() sees the completion variable
is non-zero caused by the erroneous/spurious complete() call, and
it immediately returns without waiting for the time as expected by the
client.

This patch fixes the issue by skipping complete() call for the timer
expiry.

<title>mailbox: always wait in mbox_send_message for blocking Tx mode</title>

commit c61b781ee084e69855477d23dd33e7e6caad652c upstream.

There exists a race when msg_submit return immediately as there was an
active request being processed which may have completed just before it's
checked again in mbox_send_message. This will result in return to the
caller without waiting in mbox_send_message even when it's blocking Tx.

This patch fixes the issue by waiting for the completion always if Tx
is in blocking mode.

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
