Please add

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

before any #include so that error messages are
prefixed in the output with "samsung-mailbox: "
and the reader of the log has an idea what subsystem
is emitting messages.

This would be prefixed appropriately via pr_fmt.
Also, there's a typo of aquire here: acquire

Here too it would be prefixed

Please coalesce the format fragments.

You would notice the missing space between
"support" and "non-dt"

		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "driver does not support non-dt devices\n");

It's OK to exceed 80 columns for these format strings.

Typo: There's one l in aligned
