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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
