Per maintainer review feedback from Jassi Brar, this patch series splits
the CIX mailbox driver fixes into two separate patches:
Patch 1 validates fast channel index bounds before request_irq() in
cix_mbox_startup() to avoid unnecessary IRQ registration and teardown churn.
Patch 2 fixes the DT property name string typo ("cix,mbox_dir" -> "cix,mbox-dir")
and converts cix_mbox_probe() error paths to dev_err_probe().
v2:
- Split into 2 separate patches per Jassi Brar review.
- Drop bounced address peter.chen@cixtech.com.
Surendra Singh Chouhan (2):
mailbox: cix: validate fast channel index before request_irq()
mailbox: cix: fix DT property name string typo and use dev_err_probe()

cix_mbox_startup() checked fast channel index constraints (index < 0 ||
index > CIX_MBOX_FAST_IDX) inside the channel switch block after
calling request_irq(). If validation failed, it triggered a free_irq()
cleanup path.
Validating channel parameters prior to request_irq() avoids unnecessary
IRQ registration and teardown churn.

cix_mbox_probe() logged property error messages referencing
"cix,mbox_dir" (with an underscore) instead of the actual DT property
string "cix,mbox-dir".
Fix the DT property string in error log messages and convert probe error
paths to dev_err_probe().
