Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mailbox: mtk-cmdq: Remove pm_runtime APIs from cmdq_mbox_send_data()

pm_runtime_get_sync() and pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() were previously
called in cmdq_mbox_send_data(), which is under a spinlock in msg_submit()
(mailbox.c). This caused lockdep warnings such as "sleeping function
called from invalid context" when running with lockdebug enabled.

The BUG report:
  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/base/power/runtime.c:1164

Additionally, pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() should be invoked from the
GCE IRQ handler to ensure the hardware has actually completed its work.

To resolve these issues, remove the pm_runtime calls from
cmdq_mbox_send_data() and delegate power management responsibilities
to the client driver.
