Two mailbox controllers have channel/client binding mechanisms that are
controller-specific and not using the devicetree binding mechanisms. Mailbox
channel/client is conceptually done in two steps: selecting the channel
and binding the selected to channel to a client. Channel selection is sometimes
controller specific (pcc and omap are examples). The channel/client binding
code is all the same.

This small series de-duplicates and refactors the channel/client binding
into a common framework function: "mbox_bind_client" which all of the
channel selection mechanisms can use.

I found this duplicate code while working on the support for Gunyah hypervisor
message queues [1]. I've only been able to compile-test omap-maiblox and pcc,
however it is a straightforward conversion here.

I am unable to find the above patch either in my inbox or in lore[1].
Can you please repost the same ? I would like to test/review w.r.t PCC
driver.


Hi Sudeep,

Not sure why the patch didn't end up your inbox; lore seems to have linked
it correctly and indicates you were in To:. If I missed something, let me
know and I'll make sure you're properly included if future versions needed.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230213232537.2040976-4-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/

No, I do have patch 2/3 and 3/3 in my inbox along with the cover letter.
Patch 1/3 is missing in both my inbox and lore. Can you send me the lore
link for patch 1/3 if you are able to find it ? Or just repost the series
if you can't.


Huh, not sure what happened there. I got a copy of Patch 1/3 but I also don't see it in lore. Resent:
