The new function behaves very much like mbox_request_channel()
did before.

The new function differs from omap_mbox_request_channel() in that
it can change the if chan->txdone_method is TXDONE_BY_POLL, it
is changed to TXDONE_BY_ACK if the client's knows_txdone field is
set.  Is this OK?  Why?

Both of the current drivers that use mbox_bind_client use TXDONE_BY_IRQ, so this doesn't cause issue for checking whether the client has txdone_method.


It also assumes chan->mbox->ops->startup us non-null (though that
isn't really a problem).

There should be an unbind_client() call.  At a minimum, you are
calling try_module_get(), and the matching module_put() call
would belong there.  And even though one might just call
module_put() elsewhere for this, it would be cleaner to have
a function that similarly encapsulates the shutdown call
as well.

The function for this is "mbox_free_channel".

Thanks,
Elliot
