Hi Sudeep,
    Yes, mailbox client does not need to know how controller implemented. I will check with mailbox driver. Thanks!

This is an indication that something is wrong. The mailbox controller
and client interfaces are very clear. You need to use mailbox controller
interface when implementing a mailbox controller and use only client
interface when implementing a mailbox client.

If this patch is to avoid getting "Client can't run the TX ticker" error
messages, then you make need to fix that with something like below:
