This IRQ is asserted when the message queue transitions from "full" to 
"space available". For mailbox framework, it is tx done ack.

The TXDONE_BY_POLL suits when message queue is immediately ready to 
receive more data. In the other case, we have an interrupt to indicate 
when it can receive more data and the poll doesn't make sense. IMO, the 
IRQ handler should immediately tick the mailbox controller and I don't 
know a way to do that if using TXDONE_BY_POLL -- there isn't an 
interface to reset the timer and mbox_chan_done() only works with 
TXDONE_BY_IRQ.
