On SCMI transports whose channels are based on a shared resource the TX channel area has to be acquired by the agent before placing the desired command into the channel and it will be then relinquished by the platform once the related reply has been made available into the channel. On an RX channel the logic is reversed with the platform acquiring the channel area and the agent reliquishing it once done by calling the scmi_clear_channel() helper. As a consequence, even in case of error, the agent must never try to clear a TX channel from its side: restrict the existing clear channel call on the the reply path only to delayed responses since they are indeed coming from the RX channel.

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.
