I not remove it, code piece in probe function:

ret = imx_rproc_xtr_mbox_init(rproc);
if (ret)
goto err_put_wkq;

ret = imx_rproc_addr_init(priv, pdev);
if (ret) {
dev_err(dev, "failed on imx_rproc_addr_init\n");
goto err_put_mbox;
}

ret = imx_rproc_detect_mode(priv);
if (ret)
goto err_put_mbox;

This is when got notification from CM4, Linux free the mbox channel.
The noficiation only work when CM4 runs in separated partition, linux not
able to start/stop CM4.
Patch 7/7 attach recovery will move this out. Here is just free mbox after CM4
crash, and linux not has permission to stop CM4.

Thanks,
Peng.
