commment is obsolete but I would also ask: are all of these operations supposed to be mandatory supported
on any possible foreseeable transport ? (beside the obviously needed like send_message)

I'm asking because they are all called straight away from the driver core without any NULL check
so that if a new transport should not need one of them it will be forced to anyway implement a dummy one
to comply, which it will be needlessly invoked every time.

minor thing: shouldn't the chosen transport being configurable at compile time with some
option like CONFIG_SCMI_TRANSPORT_MBOX ? or via DT ?
(minor thing in fact since as of now we have only one transport...)
