In such cases, the client will require DMAble memory for remote processor. This patch adds new API mbox_channel_device() which can be used by clients to get struct device pointer of underlying mailbox controller. This struct device pointer of mailbox controller can be used by clients to allocate DMAble memory for remote processor.
