Two mailbox controllers have channel/client binding mechanisms that are

channel/client is conceptually done in two steps: selecting the channel
and binding the selected to channel to a client. Channel selection is sometimes
controller specific (pcc and omap are examples). The channel/client binding
code is all the same.

This small series de-duplicates and refactors the channel/client binding
into a common framework function: "mbox_bind_client" which all of the
channel selection mechanisms can use.

I found this duplicate code while working on the support for Gunyah hypervisor
message queues [1]. I've only been able to compile-test omap-maiblox and pcc,
however it is a straightforward conversion here.

mailbox: Allow direct registration to a channel

I am unable to find the above patch either in my inbox or in lore[1].
Can you please repost the same ? I would like to test/review w.r.t PCC
driver.


Hi Sudeep,

Not sure why the patch didn't end up your inbox; lore seems to have linked it correctly and indicates you were in To:. If I missed something, let me know and I'll make sure you're properly included if future versions needed.

Thanks,
