Sorry for not wrote down clear.

start() and attach() not able to handle mbox defer probe. So I add
the mbox requesting in probe to handle mbox defer probe, and add
a check when requesting mbox channel in start/attach. During first
time attach/start remote core, the imx_rproc_xtr_mbox_init just
return, because channel requested in probe flow.

Since mbox requested in probe, why still add it in start() and attach()?
It is to support runtime stop and start(M4 is under control of Linux),
to support runtime detach(only for i.MX8QM/QXP attach recovery,
m4 out of control from linux) and attach.

Thanks,
Peng.
