Hi all,

While reworking this series starting from the work done up to V3 by
OpenSynergy, I am keeping the original autorship and list distribution
unchanged.

The main aim of this rework, as said, is to simplify where possible the
SCMI VirtIO support added in V3 by adding at first some new general
mechanisms in the SCMI Transport layer.

Indeed, after some initial small fixes, patches 05/06/07/08 add such new
additional mechanisms to the SCMI core to ease implementation of more
complex transports like virtio, while also addressing a few general issues
already potentially affecting existing transports.

In terms of rework I dropped original V3 patches 05/06/07/08/12 as no more
needed, and modified where needed the remaining original patches to take
advantage of the above mentioned new SCMI transport features.

DT bindings patch has been ported on top of freshly YAML converted arm,scmi
bindings.

Moreover, since V5 I dropped support for polling mode from the virtio-scmi
transport, since it is an optional general mechanism provided by the core
to allow transports lacking a completion IRQ to work and it seemed a
needless addition/complication in the context of virtio transport.

Additionally, in V5 I could also simplify a bit the virtio transport
probing sequence starting from the observation that, by the VirtIO spec,
in fact, only one single SCMI VirtIO device can possibly exist on a system.

The series has been tested using an emulated fake SCMI device and also a
proper SCP-fw stack running through QEMU vhost-users, with the SCMI stack
compiled, in both cases, as builtin and as a loadable module, running tests
against mocked SCMI Sensors using HWMON and IIO interfaces to check the
functionality of notifications and sync/async commands.

Virtio-scmi support has been exercised in the following testing scenario
on a JUNO board:

 - normal sync/async command transfers
 - notifications
 - concurrent delivery of correlated response and delayed responses
 - out-of-order delivery of delayed responses before related responses
 - unexpected delayed response delivery for sync commands
 - late delivery of timed-out responses and delayed responses

Some basic regression testing against mailbox transport has been performed
for commands and notifications too.

No sensible overhead in total handling time of commands and notifications
has been observed, even though this series do indeed add a considerable
amount of code to execute on TX path.
More test and measurements could be needed in these regards.

This series is based on top of v5.14-rc1.

Any feedback/testing is welcome :D

Thanks,
Cristian

V5 --> V6:
 - removed delegated xfers and its usage
 - add and use *priv optional parameter in scmi_rx_callback()
 - made .poll_done and .clear_channel ops optional

V4 --> V5:
 - removed msg raw_payload helpers
 - reworked msg helpers to use xfer->priv reference
 - simplified SCMI device probe sequence (one static device)
 - added new SCMI Kconfig layout
 - removed SCMI virtio polling support

V3 --> V4:
 - using new delegated xfers support and monotonically increasing tokens
   in virtio transport
 - ported SCMI virtio transport DT bindings to YAML format
 - added virtio-scmi polling support
 - added delegated xfers support
