[PATCH 3/8] mailbox: Add transmit done by blocking option

[Mikko Perttunen]

Add a new TXDONE option, TXDONE_BY_BLOCK. With this option, the
send_data function of the mailbox driver is expected to block until
the message has been sent. The new option is used with the Tegra
Combined UART driver to minimize unnecessary overhead when transmitting
data.
