The struct mbox_client supplied to mbox_request_channel() is const but
it is stored in the channel in a non-constant member causing compiler
warnings.
While the mailbox API should treat the struct mailbox_client as const
itself the struct is passed back to the channel in callbacks without
a const so we need to either remove the const, change the callbacks to
take const or cast the const away when doing callbacks. Take the simplest
option and just remove the const.

Introduce common framework for client/protocol drivers and
controller drivers of Inter-Processor-Communication (IPC).
Client driver developers should have a look at
include/linux/mailbox_client.h to understand the part of
the API exposed to client drivers.
Similarly controller driver developers should have a look
at include/linux/mailbox_controller.h

The patch 30058677 "ARM / highbank: add support for pl320 IPC"
added a pl320 IPC specific header file as a generic mailbox.h.
This file has been renamed appropriately to allow the
introduction of the generic mailbox API framework.

The pl320 IPC allows for interprocessor communication between the
highbank A9 and the EnergyCore Management Engine. The pl320 implements
a straightforward mailbox protocol.
