[RFC PATCH] arm: imx: Workaround i.MX6 PMU interrupts muxed to one SPI

All PMU interrupts on multi-core i.MX6 devices are muxed onto a single SPI.
Should the PMU of any core except 0 (the default affinity for the
interrupt) trigger the interrupt then it cannot be serviced and,
eventually, the spurious irq detection will forcefully disable the
interrupt.

This can be worked around by getting the interrupt handler to change its
own affinity if it cannot figure out why it has been triggered. This patch
adds logic to rotate the affinity to i.MX6.

Notes:
    This patch adopts the approach used on the u8500 (db8500_pmu_handler)
    but the logic has been generalized for any number of CPUs, mostly
    because the i.MX6 has a both dual and quad core variants.
    
    However it might be better to include the generalized logic in the main
    armpmu code. I think the logic could be deployed automatically on SMP
    systems with only a single not-percpu IRQ, replacing the
    plat->handle_irq dance we currently do to hook up this code.
    
    Thoughts? (or is there already shared logic to do this that I
    overlooked)
