There is an existing sev() macro for this.

So this is going to "wfe" when retry == 0 and the continue statement 
will take us out of the loop?

Also, there is a wfe() macro for arm and arm64 which could be used here.

If timeout occurs while waiting for the MBOX to be idle, val will hold 
the last value from MBOX_MODE_REG, and if this can be different than 0, 
this will hide the fact it timed out.

Maybe the following would be more appropriate:

return (retry >= 0) ? 0 : -ETIMEDOUT;

Also, your do {} while loops for the timeouts falsely give the 
impression we do "retry" attempts when we actually do "retry + 1" 
attempts (but I guess it doesn't make a big difference from the 
functional point of view).

nit:
In to_hi3660_mbox, you use the fact that the mbox_controller structure 
is part of hi3660_mbox and use container of to retrieve hi3660_mbox.

I think it would be nice to be consistent about this, either use 
container_of or dev drvdata, but not both.

Cheers,
