Define a new, optional, callback that allows the driver to specify how the return data buffer is allocated. If that callback is set, mailbox/pcc.c is now responsible for reading from and writing to the PCC shared buffer. This also allows for proper checks of the Commnand complete flag between the PCC sender and receiver. For Type 4 channels, initialize the command complete flag prior to accepting messages. Since the mailbox does not know what memory allocation scheme to use for response messages, the client now has an optional callback that allows it to allocate the buffer for a response message. When an outbound message is written to the buffer, the mailbox checks for the flag indicating the client wants an tx complete notification via IRQ. Upon receipt of the interrupt It will pair it with the outgoing message. The expected use is to free the kernel memory buffer for the previous outgoing message.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
