Re: [PATCH 2/3] remoteproc: k3-r5: Acquire mailbox handle during probe

Acquire the mailbox handle during device probe and do not release handle
in stop/detach routine or error paths. This removes the redundant
requests for mbox handle later during rproc start/attach. This also
allows to defer remoteproc driver's probe if mailbox is not probed yet.

Why turn all other errors into EBUSY? If you just return the error as-is you
can simply make these 3 lines just:

return dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(kproc->mbox), "mbox_request_channel failed\n");

The label "out" doesn't do anything, just directly `return ret;` here and

Do we still need to disable the mbox channel somehow here to prevent
receiving more messages from the detached core?

Now that we get the channel here in init you'll want to add a matching
mbox_free_channel() call to k3_r5_cluster_rproc_exit().
