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

* 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.
