So please let me know what you think about [1], if you don't like it
I'll fix the things pointed to by Stephen and we'll have to live with
the two calls.

My last reply was about [1]. Other platforms call
mbox_send_data()+mbox_client_txdone() see
drivers/firmware/tegra/bpmp.c, but you want to introduce another API
in the innards of the framework.

Okay, lets go with that then. I will incorporate the changes requested
by Stephen and post a final version and then add the
mbox_client_txdone() in the clients.

If we must do it, it should be done
above the framework by introducing

void mbox_send_message_and_tick(struct mbox_chan *chan, void *mssg)
           OR
void mbox_ring_doorbell(struct mbox_chan *chan, void *mssg)
{
   (void)mbox_send_message(chan, mssg);
   mbox_client_txdone(chan, 0);
}

This sounds reasonable, but I would prefer that we get the two drivers
merged - so I suggest that we deal with that later, when we see if its
worth the effort.
