The problem is that they need something with different semantics.
mbox_chan_received_data() is atomic only.

I'll leave the explaining to Karl, but based on internal reviews for the
previous generation, it looked like passing values to/from the MCU.

Again, during the previous round of internal reviews, I had thought
about modeling these as extra mbox channels. I may have even asked
about this on IRC.

The problem is that it doesn't really have mbox semantics. They are
just shared registers with no send/receive notification. So at the
very least, there's nothing that will trigger a reception. I suppose
we could make the .peek_data op trigger RX, but that's a really
convoluted way to read just a register.

The other option would be to have a syscon / custom exported regmap?

To clarify, you mean _just_ platform_get_irq() and not request_irq as
well.

Seems like we can make it a flexible array member? But the problem then
becomes how does the client know what the maximum length is. Or maybe
it should already know given it's tied to a particular platform.

In any case it becomes:

    struct mtk_apu_mailbox_msg {
        u8 data_size;
        u8 data[] __counted_by(data_size);
    };

This can't be allocated on the stack if `data_size` isn't a compile
time constant though; but again it shouldn't be a problem given the
message size is tied to the client & its platform and should be
constant anyway.

The controller should just error out if the message is larger than
what it can atomically send.
