52a49306d7 mailbox: Don't unnecessarily re-arm the polling timer
poll_txdone() will unconditionally re-arm the polling timer if there was
an active request, even if the active request completed and no other
requests were submitted.  This is fixed by:
 - only re-arming the timer if the controller reported that the current
   transmission has not completed, and,
 - moving the call to poll_txdone() into msg_submit() so that the
   controller gets polled (and the timer re-armed, if necessary) whenever
   a new message is submitted.

2b6d83e2b8 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
