octeontx2: Detect the mbox up or down message via register
[ Upstream commit a88e0f93 ] A single line of interrupt is used to receive up notifications and down reply messages from AF to PF (similarly from PF to its VF). PF acts as bridge and forwards VF messages to AF and sends respsones back from AF to VF. When an async event like link event is received by up message when PF is in middle of forwarding VF message then mailbox errors occur because PF state machine is corrupted. Since VF is a separate driver or VF driver can be in a VM it is not possible to serialize from the start of communication at VF. Hence to differentiate between type of messages at PF this patch makes sender to set mbox data register with distinct values for up and down messages. Sender also checks whether previous interrupt is received before triggering current interrupt by waiting for mailbox data register to become zero.
