mailbox: Introduce framework for mailbox

Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and
controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC).

Client driver developers should have a look at
 include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of
the API exposed to client drivers.
Similarly controller driver developers should have a look
at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h

+/**
+ * struct mbox_chan_ops - methods to control mailbox channels
+ * @send_data:	The API asks the MBOX controller driver, in atomic
+ *		context try to transmit a message on the bus. Returns 0 if
+ *		data is accepted for transmission, -EBUSY while rejecting
+ *		if the remote hasn't yet read the last data sent. Actual
+ *		transmission of data is reported by the controller via
+ *		mbox_chan_txdone (if it has some TX ACK irq). It must not
+ *		sleep.
+ * @startup:	Called when a client requests the chan. The controller
+ *		could ask clients for additional parameters of communication
+ *		to be provided via client's chan_data. This call may
+ *		block. After this call the Controller must forward any
+ *		data received on the chan by calling mbox_chan_received_data.
+ *		The controller may do stuff that need to sleep.
+ * @shutdown:	Called when a client relinquishes control of a chan.
+ *		This call may block too. The controller must not forward
+ *		any received data anymore.
+ *		The controller may do stuff that need to sleep.
+ * @last_tx_done: If the controller sets 'txdone_poll', the API calls
+ *		  this to poll status of last TX. The controller must
+ *		  give priority to IRQ method over polling and never
+ *		  set both txdone_poll and txdone_irq. Only in polling
+ *		  mode 'send_data' is expected to return -EBUSY.
+ *		  The controller may do stuff that need to sleep/block.
+ *		  Used only if txdone_poll:=true && txdone_irq:=false
+ * @peek_data: Atomic check for any received data. Return true if controller
+ *		  has some data to push to the client. False otherwise.
