It is generally transmitted via tx, and tx_reply is necessary when the
platform has unidirectional channels. tx_reply is used to determine when the
synchronization commands have completed, without requiring polling of the
shared memory. rx_reply is necessary only if the platform firmware expects
it and doesn't poll the shared memory for OSPM/agent acknowledgement.
