Joseph, can you think about any other sub-function that uses the same
master ids (& those that does not have their own irqs)? I wonder if we
are over-engineering this. I think the hsp_db_startup() and
hsp_db_shutdown() does not support sharing masters - _startup() by one
followed by _shutdown() from another will mask the interrupt. If there
is infact other potential sub-functions, I would imagine this will
translate to other values of the tegra_hsp_mbox_chan.type than
HSP_MBOX_TYPE_DB? If yes, then you should be able to remove need of this
inner loop by having per-sub-function mboxes or by combining 'type' and
'master_id' to make single index value?
