As mhi_poll function can be called by mhi client drivers
which will call process_event, which will ring DB even if
there no ring elements to process. This could cause
doorbell event to be processed by MHI device to check for
any ring elements even it is none and also it will occupy
lot of bandwidth on peripheral when mhi_poll() is called in
aggressive loop.

The patch removing mhi_poll() API is now merged. Can you please respin this
patch removing the note to the API?

I still think this patch is relevant without that API.

Thanks,
