I don't exactly see how you mean but please remember send_data()
callback is supposed to be atomic ... it is protected by
spin_lock_irqsave/restore in drivers/mailbox/mailbox.c:msg_submit()

BTW, how many requests max can be queued in the GCE h/w buffer?
And since it's been over a year now, could you please resubmit after
checking for checkpatch with the --strict option?

Thanks.
