Subject: Re: [PATCHv7 2/5] mailbox: Introduce framework for mailbox
Hi Jassi,
I started using this from v5 and tried briefly to follow previous versions
and discussion. Please forgive me if I ask questions that are already answered.

Any particular reason why the standard list implementation can't be used
instead of this. It eliminates limitation of MBOX_TX_QUEUE_LEN and would
remove msg_free/count

Does this mean we can't support asynchronous messages from the remote.
One possible scenario I can think is if the remote system power controller
has feature to configure the bounds for thermal sensors and it can send
async interrupt when the bounds are crossed. We can't just block one channel
for this always. Again this might have been discussed before and you might have
solution, I could not gather it with my brief look at older discussions.

I am unable to understand how this API will be used. IIUC when the controller
receives any data from remote, it calls mbox_chan_received_data to push data to
client.

Does it makes sense to add description for of_xlate and num_chans ?

As mentioned before IMO using std list might eliminate this.
