Subject: [PATCH v1] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference in
 mailbox_clear_channel

There is a race between the failure of probe and rx_callback (due to a
delayed response).

scmi_probe
scmi_acquire_protocal
do_xfer
 timeout
mailbox_chan_free
                                                    <--- delay response
                                                           rx_callback
mbox_free_channel
cinfo->transport_info = NULL
                                                          mailbox_clear_channel
                                                         dereference cinfo->transport_info

This patch check for it, and clear the channel at mailbox_chan_free.
