Error while using Mailbox in RPI

[Mudit Jain]

Hi Pavel,

I cherry-picked your patch and for some reason I still get this error.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** SDHCI 01 TEST ***
nexus0: <RTEMS Nexus device>
bcm_dma0: <BCM2835 DMA Controller> on nexus0
sdhci_bcm0: <Broadcom 2708 SDHCI controller> on nexus0
Enable the power returns -2
sdhci_bcm0: Unable to enable the power
device_attach: sdhci_bcm0 attach returned -2

RTEMS Shell on /dev/console. Use 'help' to list commands.
[/] #
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have used the same code as mentioned by you.
