Subject: [char-misc-next v2 2/9] mei: prepare read cb for fixed address clients on the receive path only.

From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@...el.com>

The read callbacks for the fixed address clients, that don't have flow
control are built now on the receive path. In order to have a single
allocation place we remove the allocation from the read request.
