Sorry for being pedantic but the preferred naming for the function
should be scmi_cleanup_txrx_channels()

Maybe also a Fixes: tag could be appropriate, but I'm not so sure you
could easily identify one common commit to use given that notifications
have been added later and the code around scmi_protocol_acquire() has
been changed recently too. (in such a case just ignore the Fixes tag
suggestion)
