Thanks for pointing this out, you are right, the mailbox driver is stm32_ipcc
and it only sends a signal to the remote processor.

As message can be queued by the mailbox framework using a local variable seems
not a good option. As this code is a copy/past of the kick and stop?
I propose to get this one and I will send a new patch to fix the usage in the
whole driver.

Thanks,
Arnaud
