Nice comments.

irq_work would be a better choice.

Error handling missing.

minor nit pick:

If you initialize num_chans to 1 before, then you can use that as the first
argument to kcalloc() which makes it more readable since you opted for kcalloc()
instead of kzalloc() there.

If you wish to use tasklets, use tasklet_setup().

Is gh_msgq_remove() supposed to undo every thing done in gh_msgq_init()?
ex: mbox controller and channel are not unregistered.
