[PATCH v5 02/11] drivers: Add hardware timestamp engine (HTE)

[Dipen Patel <dipenp@nvidia.com>]

Some devices can timestamp system lines/signals/Buses in real-time
using the hardware counter or other hardware means which can give
finer granularity and help avoid jitter introduced by software
timestamping. To utilize such functionality, this patchset creates
HTE subsystem where devices can register themselves as providers so
that the consumers devices can request specific line from the
providers.

It provides below APIs for the provider:
- devm_hte_register_chip -- To register the HTE provider.
- hte_push_ts_ns() -- To push timestamp data into HTE subsystem.

It provides below APIs for the consumer:
- devm_of_hte_request_ts_ns() -- Request timestamp functionality.
- hte_req_ts_by_linedata_ns -- To request timestamp functionality by
using line data information provided by the consumer.
- hte_enable_ts() -- To disable timestamp functionality.
- hte_disable_ts() -- To enable timestamp functionality.
- hte_release_ts() -- To release timestamp functionality and its
associated resources.
- hte_get_clk_src_info() -- To query clock source information from
the provider

The detail about parameters and API usage are described in each
functions definitions in drivers/hte/hte.c file.

The patch adds compilation support in Makefile and menu options in
Kconfig.

Changes in v2:
- Removed buffer abstraction layer as well related APIs, HTE now will not store
any data, instead will pass to consumer as soon as it is available.
- Removed unnecessary dynamical allocations
- Removed timestamp retrieve API
- Removed release, unregister related APIs as their counterpart are resource
managed.
- Added kernel thread implementation if consumer indicates threaded callback
during request API time.
- Changed hte_req_ts_by_dt_node API to remove device node exposure from the
interface, instead consumer will their device node with property name that
indicates the provider it wants to use.

Changes in v3:
- Addressed grammatical/spelling errors.

Changes in v4:
- Added hte_req_ts_by_linedata_ns and removed hte_req_ts_by_hte_name.
- Corrected API descriptions based on review comments.
- Droped HTE_CB_ERROR and HTE_CB_TS_DROPPED enums.
- Added line attribute structure in hte ts descriptor.
- Added raw_level field in hte ts data structure.
- Added match_from_linedata callback for the providers.
- Added edge setup related flags should consumer requests, HTE now
can help setup should provider supports it.

Changes in v5:
- Replaced kernel thread with workqueue.

+	  Hardware Timestamping Engine (HTE) Support.
+
+	  Some devices provide a hardware timestamping engine which can
+	  timestamp certain device lines/signals in realtime. This provides a
+	  hardware-assisted timestamp to generic signals like GPIOs or IRQs
+	  lines. It comes with a benefit for applications like autonomous
+	  machines needing accurate timestamping event with less jitter.
+
+	  This framework provides a generic interface to such HTE devices
+	  within the Linux kernel. It provides an API to register and
+	  unregister a HTE provider chip, configurable software buffer to
+	  store the timestamps, push the timestamp from the HTE providers and
+	  retrieve timestamps for the consumers. It also provides means for the
+	  consumers to request signals it wishes to hardware timestamp and
+	  release them if not required.
+
+	  If unsure, say no.
