Re: [PATCH v6 1/2] mctp pcc: Check before sending MCTP PCC response ACK

["lihuisong (C)" <lihuisong@huawei.com>]

Hi Adam,

All modifications in the patch is done for pcc instead of mctp.
Suggest that use the prefix "mailbox: pcc: xxxx".
Please find my following reply.

I understand what you are concerned about.
But this duplicate ioremap also works for all PCC clients no matter 
which type they used. It has very wide influence.
My driver just uses type3 instead of type4. What's more, AFAICS, it 
doesn't seem there is type4 client driver in linux.
Therefore, determining whether type4 client driver needs to reply to 
platform has the minimum or even no impact in their rx_callback.
