Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mailbox: Make mbox_send_message() return error code when tx fails
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 10:14:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206101440.4171445-1-joonwonkang@google.com> (raw)
When the mailbox controller failed transmitting message, the error code
was only passed to the client's tx done handler and not to
mbox_send_message(). For this reason, the function could return a false
success. This commit resolves the issue by introducing the tx status and
checking it before mbox_send_message() returns.
