Hi Dinh

free_irq() is in  altera_mbox_shutdown(). This function will be called
when user free/release the mailbox (channel).
But, devm_free_irq() only will be called when unload the module.

+static void altera_mbox_shutdown(struct mbox_chan *chan)
+{
+       struct altera_mbox *mbox = to_altera_mbox(chan);
+
+       if (WARN_ON(!mbox))
+               return;
+
+       if (mbox->intr_mode) {
+               /* Unmask all interrupt masks */
+               __raw_writel(~0, mbox->mbox_base + MAILBOX_INTMASK_REG);
+               free_irq(mbox->irq, chan);
