We already check if the message is empty before calling the client
tx_done callback. Calling completion on a wait event is also invalid
if the message is empty.

This patch moves the existing empty message check earlier.

<title>mailbox: skip complete wait event if timer expired</title>

If a wait_for_completion_timeout() call returns due to a timeout,
complete() can get called after returning from the wait which is
incorrect and can cause subsequent transmissions on a channel to fail.
Since the wait_for_completion_timeout() sees the completion variable
is non-zero caused by the erroneous/spurious complete() call, and
it immediately returns without waiting for the time as expected by the
client.

This patch fixes the issue by skipping complete() call for the timer
expiry.

<content type='text'>
There exists a race when msg_submit return immediately as there was an
active request being processed which may have completed just before it's
checked again in mbox_send_message. This will result in return to the
caller without waiting in mbox_send_message even when it's blocking Tx.

This patch fixes the issue by waiting for the completion always if Tx
is in blocking mode.

The Broadcom FlexRM mailbox driver uses platform MSI support but
not all ARCHs provide asm/msi.h. Due to this, we get compilation
error in Broadcom FlexRM mailbox driver via linux/msi.h on ARCHs
which lack asm/msi.h.

This patch removes "depends on COMPILE_TEST" for Kconfig option
BCM_FLEXRM_MBOX so that Broadcom FlexRM mailbox driver is only
compiled for ARM64.

It is allowed by code to register mailbox controller that sets txdone_poll
flag to request timer-based polling with missed -&gt;last_tx_done() method.
If such thing happens and since presence of last_tx_done() is not checked
it will fail in hrtimer callback function txdone_hrtimer() when first
message will be transmitted.

This patch adds check for this method and logging of error on
registration of mailbox controller if it requested timer-based polling.

Some of the Broadcom iProc SoCs have FlexRM ring manager
which provides a ring-based programming interface to various
offload engines (e.g. RAID, Crypto, etc).

This patch adds a common mailbox driver for Broadcom FlexRM
ring manager which can be shared by various offload engine
drivers (implemented as mailbox clients).

<title>mailbox: bcm-pdc: Add Northstar Plus support to PDC driver</title>

Adds support for Northstar Plus (NS+) products to the PDC mailbox
driver.  The PDC driver was originally written to support the PDC
ring manager in the Northstar2 (64-bit) device.  The NS+ (32 bit
device) uses an almost identical ring manager, though with a
different name.  We just need to check for the type of hardware in
use, in order to write the appropriate interrupt configuration register.
Also updated DMA width to be correct for both NS+ and NS2.

Tested on NS+ and NS2.

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.
