At this point, just call them "reply" and "request", as that simply provides a
perfectly clear explanation.

Besides, I'm sorry but I really don't like this code, it's really too much
fragile and will have to be changed entirely if a third mbox is introduced.

I can suggest a cooler way:

static const char * const adsp_mbox_ch_names[MTK_ADSP_MBOX_NUM] = { "rep", "req" };

for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(adsp_mbox_ch_names); i++) {
	/* we can delete chan_name and also avoid a kfree if we do... */

	.... code ....

	adsp_chan->ch = mbox_request_channel_byname(cl, adsp_mbox_ch_names[i]);

	... etc etc ...
}

Cheers,
Angelo
