That is incorrect. Mailbox framework does not require a channel to be
TX and RX capable.

Sorry, it would be more accurate to say that the intended mailbox _client_
expects the channels to be bidirectional.

Mailbox clients are very mailbox provider specific. Your client driver
is unlikely to be reuseable over another controller+remote combo.
Your client has to know already what a physical channel can do (RX, TX
or RXTX). There is no api to provide that info.

thanks
