Above hunks will create an imbalance of free_irq, as request_irq can be 
called per registered mailbox and free_irq is only done for the last 
caller releasing the mailbox handle.

e.g.: mbox-1, mbox-N will request a shared irq on the same interrupt 
line, but only the last caller of omap_mbox_put will free its irq, 
leaving the other one there.

This can be fixed if the free is moved to be executed within the 
following block:

	if (!--mbox->use_count) {
		...
		free_irq(mbox->irq, mbox);
	}
