No error in my side.

drivers/mailbox/imx-mu.c. The tx channel is IMX_MU_TYPE_TXDB_V2

Use TXDONE_BY_ACK, no irq and no poll.

i.MX Message Unit(MU) supports many types, but for the i.MX SCMI MU,
we are using GIR(General Interrupt request) to the other side. 
And GIR will not trigger interrupt on the local side.
That means Linux write GIRA will trigger interrupt on M33 side, but no
interrupt in linux side. M33 write GIRB will trigger interrupt on
Linux side, but no interrupt in M33 side.

Peng.
