  Two mailbox controllers have channel/client binding mechanisms that are
controller-specific and not using the devicetree binding mechanisms. Mailbox
channel/client is conceptually done in two steps: selecting the channel
and binding the selected to channel to a client. Channel selection is sometimes
controller specific (pcc and omap are examples). The channel/client binding
code is all the same.

This small series de-duplicates and refactors the channel/client binding
into a common framework function: "mbox_bind_client" which all of the
channel selection mechanisms can use.

I found this duplicate code while working on the support for Gunyah hypervisor
message queues [1]. I've only been able to compile-test omap-mailbox and pcc,
however it is a straightforward conversion here.

Chagnes since v2:
 - Fix warnings in drivers/mailbox/pcc.c reported by lkp@intel.com

Changes since v1:
 - Rebase to https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/fujitsu/integration.git/log/?h=mailbox-for-next
 - Add Tested-By from Sudeep (thanks!)

Elliot Berman (3):

  mailbox: omap: Use mbox_bind_client
  mailbox: pcc: Use mbox_bind_client

Seems fine. Will pick these up for the coming merge window.

Thanks.
