Add a new TXDONE option, TXDONE_BY_BLOCK. With this option, the
send_data function of the mailbox driver is expected to block until
the message has been sent. The new option is used with the Tegra
Combined UART driver to minimize unnecessary overhead when transmitting
data.

1) TXDONE_BY_BLOCK flag :-
         Have you tried setting the flag mbox_chan->mbox_client->tx_block ?

No - I suppose I should have done that. I'm a bit concerned about 
overhead as send_data may be called thousands of times per second, so I 
tried to make it as close as possible to the downstream driver that just 
pokes the mailbox register directly.

2) Implementing TEGRA_HSP_MBOX_TYPE_SM :-
        In mailbox framework, a controller is a collection of identical
channels. That is, instances of the same class.
        So ideally, in probe you should populate a controller for each
type of channel, i.e, DB, SM, SS and AS.

Hmm, yes, I guess this would be possible if I change the mailbox core to 
allow registering multiple controllers per device.

Thanks!
Mikko
