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.
