[PATCH v3 8/8] soc: microchip: mpfs: handle timeouts and failed services differently

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley at microchip.com>

The system controller will only deliver an interrupt if a service
succeeds. This leaves us in the unfortunate position with current code
where there is no way to differentiate between a legitimate timeout
where the service has not completed & where it has completed, but
failed.

mbox_send_message() has its own completion, and it will time out of the
system controller does not lower the busy flag. In this case, a timeout
has occurred and the error can be propagated back to the caller.

If the busy flag is lowered, but no interrupt has arrived to trigger the
rx callback, the service can be deemed to have failed. Report -EBADMSG
in this case so that callers can differentiate.
