Yes. This struct is used to get the channel information from the controller
driver and gets passed to the MHI stack, which will inturn create MHI device.

Right. I was more interested in grouping the members logically so that they
can look in order. But I can rework these to fill the holes.

As like above, this structure will be used by the controller driver to
pass the information to the MHI stack. So it will pass the struct device
of the actual transport layer (like PCI-E). This is required since MHI
stack itself will not involve in the data transport.

Reference controller implementation can be found here:
https://git.linaro.org/people/manivannan.sadhasivam/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mhi.c?h=ath11k-qca6390-mhi#n207

Moreover, I should've marked the members of this struct which were required
by the controller drivers to fill in. This was already pointed out by Jeff
during internal review but I don't know how the change I did to address not
included here :/ Will incorporate in next iteration.

So there are multiple locks used throughout the MHI stack and each one
servers its own purpose. For instance, pm_lock protects againt the
concurrent access to the PM state, transition_lock protects against the
concurrent access to the state transition list, wlock protects against
the concurrent access to device wake state. Since there are multiple
worker threads and each trying to update these variables, we did the
best to protect against the race condition by having all these locks.

And there are these atomic variables which are again shared with the
threads holding the above locks, precisely with threads holding read locks.
So it becomes convenient to just use the atomic_ APIs to update these variables.

These are controller specific callbacks which needs to be provided by the
controller drivers. The MHI stack creates device during the controller
registration. So there is essentially no further client driver to bind to
this device. Only for the devices created for each channel, there
are client drivers which binds to it. So these callbacks should be present
here itself.

While having a close look at this, it looks like the atomicity
is not required here. Will change.
