In order to save power, we only need to request a channel when the communication with the DSP active. For this we export the following functions: - imx_dsp_request_channel, gets a channel with a given index - imx_dsp_free_channel, frees a channel with a given index Notice that we still request channels at probe to support devices that do not have PM callbacks implemented. More explanations about why requesting a channel has an effect on power savings: - requesting an mailbox channel will call mailbox's startup function. - startup function calls pm_runtime_get_sync which increments device usage count and will keep the device active. Specifically, mailbox clock will be always ON when a mailbox channel is requested.
