Subject: [PATCH 2/2 RESEND] mailbox: Make mbox_send_message() return error code when tx fails
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 08:44:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251216084435.903880-1-joonwonkang@google.com> (raw)
Previously, when the mailbox controller failed transmitting message, the
error code was only passed to the client's tx done handler and not to
mbox_send_message(). For this reason, the function could return a false
success. This commit resolves the issue by introducing the tx status and
checking it before mbox_send_message() returns.
