I would go in favor of Arnd's patch as it gets rid of exposing
IMX_MBOX into SOF.
The code will be fine even IMX_DSP=n, because the exported functions
used by SOF have dummy implementations in case IMX_DSP is not selected.

One concern is that we could end up in a case where IMX_DSP={y|m} but
IMX_MBOX=n.

Technically this is not possible because IMX_DSP depends on IMX_MBOX. So,
one cannot generate such a .config file from menuconfig interface.
