Subject: [PATCH v2] mailbox: mtk-cmdq: Do not request irq until we are ready

If the system comes from kexec() the peripheral might trigger an IRQ
befoe we are ready for it. Triggering a crash due to an access to
invalid memory.

Changes in v2:
- I have managed to repro a different panic. Moving the irq enabling to the very end of probe.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221125-mtk-mailbox-v1-0-2e3ee120850c@chromium.org
