Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/10] Add Fujitsu A64FX soc entry/hardware barrier driver

Hello,

This series adds Fujitsu A64FX SoC entry in drivers/soc and hardware
barrier driver for it.

[Driver Description]
 A64FX CPU has several functions for HPC workload and hardware barrier
 is one of them. It is a mechanism to realize fast synchronization by
 PEs belonging to the same L3 cache domain by using implementation
 defined hardware registers.
 For more details, see A64FX HPC extension specification in
 https://github.com/fujitsu/A64FX
 
 The driver mainly offers a set of ioctls to manipulate related registers.
 Patch 1-9 implements driver code and patch 10 finally adds kconfig,
 Makefile and MAINTAINER entry for the driver.  

 Also, C library and test program for this driver is available on: 
 https://github.com/fujitsu/hardware_barrier

 The driver is based on v5.11-rc2 and tested on FX700 environment.

[RFC]
 This is the first time we upstream drivers for our chip and I want to
 confirm driver location and patch submission process.

 Based on my observation it seems drivers/soc folder is right place to put
 this driver, so I added Kconfig entry for arm64 platform config, created
 soc/fujitsu folder and updated MAINTAINER entry accordingly (last patch).
 Is it right?

 Also for final submission I think I need to 1) create some public git
 tree to push driver code (github or something), 2) make pull request to
 SOC team (soc@kernel.org). Is it a correct procedure?

 I will appreciate any help/comments.

sidenote: We plan to post other drivers for A64FX HPC extension
(prefetch control and cache control) too anytime soon.
