[PATCH 01/14] mailbox: pcc: Fix the possible race in updation of chan_in_use flag

[Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>]

From: Huisong Li <lihuisong@huawei.com>

The function mbox_chan_received_data() calls the Rx callback of the
mailbox client driver. The callback might set chan_in_use flag from
pcc_send_data(). This flag's status determines whether the PCC channel
is in use.

However, there is a potential race condition where chan_in_use is
updated incorrectly due to concurrency between the interrupt handler
(pcc_mbox_irq()) and the command sender(pcc_send_data()).

The 'chan_in_use' flag of a channel is set to true after sending a
command. And the flag of the new command may be cleared erroneous by
the interrupt handler afer mbox_chan_received_data() returns,

As a result, the interrupt being level triggered can't be cleared in
pcc_mbox_irq() and it will be disabled after the number of handled times
exceeds the specified value. The error log is as follows:

  |  kunpeng_hccs HISI04B2:00: PCC command executed timeout!
  |  kunpeng_hccs HISI04B2:00: get port link status info failed, ret = -110

To solve this issue, pcc_mbox_irq() must clear 'chan_in_use' flag before
the call to mbox_chan_received_data().
