Subject: [RESEND PATCH 0/3] Allow on demand channel request / free

From: Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@....com>

Requesting an mailbox channel will call mailbox's startup
function.

startup function calls pm_runtime_get_sync which increments device usage
count and will keep the device active. Specifically, mailbox clock will
be always ON when a mailbox channel is requested.

For this, reason we introduce a way to request/free IMX DSP channels
on demand to save power when the channels are not used.

First two patches are doing code refactoring preparing the path
for 3rd patch which exports functions for on demand channel request/free

Daniel Baluta (3):
  firmware: imx: Introduce imx_dsp_setup_channels
  firmware: imx: Save channel name for further use
  firmware: imx-dsp: Export functions to request/free channels
