The i.MX SCU soc driver depends on SCU firmware driver, so it has to
use platform driver model for proper defer probe operation, since
it has no device binding in DT file, a simple platform device is
created together inside the platform driver. To make it more clean,
we can just move the entire SCU soc driver into imx firmware folder
and initialized by i.MX SCU firmware driver.

Signed-off-by: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@nxp.com>

Changes since V1:
	- move soc driver to imx firmware folder instead of merge it into imx firmware driver.

Looks good except for one irritating issue:

This makes separate loadable modules out of the driver when CONFIG_IMX_SCU=m,
including the badly named misc.ko and rm.ko modules that might conflict
with other modules of the same name (module names are a global namespace
for modprobe).

The way to make this a single module from four files is

obj-$(CONFIG_IMX_SCU)          += imx-scu-mod.o
imx-scu-mod-y := imx-scu.o misc.o imx-scu-irq.o rm.o imx-scu-soc.o

Consequently, there should not be an EXPORT_SYMBOL here.

I haven't considered the support for loadable module of i.MX SCU firmware yet,
plan to have another patch to do it, so do you think it is good to add the loadable
module support together in this patch?

Will remove it.

No, I wouldn't do that yet. It was just that adding the EXPORT_SYMBOL()
made it look like you were trying loadable module support already, and that
would not have been a good idea without changing the way it gets linked.

If you just remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL from this patch, it should be
fine, you can do the rest when you actually need the driver itself to be
loadable, and that in turn requires all drivers depending on it to
be loadable modules first.
