This has exactly one caller, why not inline it (or make both tx and rx
separate functions)?

How big do these messages get?  Do we need to hold the lock while we
memcpy()?

If the DSP is idle is there a reason this has to happen in another
thread?

The thread is also going to take an irq spinlock after all.

Should the move happen if the send fails (I see it can return an error
code, though we ignore it)?

err defaults to -EINVAL here which doesn't seem like the right thing if
fw_ready() is really optional.  Perhaps just validate the ops on
registration and call this unconditionally?

It might be better to have something that stops any new messages being
processed as well, to prevent races on removal.
