[PATCH REPOST v6 1/8] Documentation: add DT binding for ARM System Control and Power Interface(SCPI) protocol

This patch adds devicetree binding for System Control and Power
Interface (SCPI) Message Protocol used between the Application Cores(AP)
and the System Control Processor(SCP). The MHU peripheral provides a
mechanism for inter-processor communication between SCP's M3 processor
and AP.

SCP offers control and management of the core/cluster power states,
various power domain DVFS including the core/cluster, certain system
clocks configuration, thermal sensors and many others.

+System Control and Power Interface (SCPI) Message Protocol
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Firmware implementing the SCPI described in ARM document number ARM DUI 0922B
+("ARM Compute Subsystem SCP: Message Interface Protocols")[0] can be used
+by Linux to initiate various system control and power operations.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be "arm,scpi"
+- mboxes: List of phandle and mailbox channel specifiers
+	  All the channels reserved by remote SCP firmware for use by
+	  SCPI message protocol should be specified in any order
+- shmem : List of phandle pointing to the shared memory(SHM) area between the
+	  processors using these mailboxes for IPC, one for each mailbox
+	  SHM can be any memory reserved for the purpose of this communication
+	  between the processors.
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
+for more details about the generic mailbox controller and
+client driver bindings.
+
+Clock bindings for the clocks based on SCPI Message Protocol
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This binding uses the common clock binding[1].
+
+Container Node
+==============
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "arm,scpi-clocks"
+	       All the clocks provided by SCP firmware via SCPI message
+	       protocol much be listed as sub-nodes under this node.
+
+Sub-nodes
+=========
+Required properties:
+- compatible : shall include one of the following
+	"arm,scpi-dvfs-clocks" - all the clocks that are variable and index based.
+		These clocks don't provide an entire range of values between the
+		limits but only discrete points within the range. The firmware
+		provides the mapping for each such operating frequency and the
+		index associated with it. The firmware also manages the
+		voltage scaling appropriately with the clock scaling.
+	"arm,scpi-variable-clocks" - all the clocks that are variable and provide full
+		range within the specified range. The firmware provides the
+		range of values within a specified range.
+
+Other required properties for all clocks(all from common clock binding):
+- #clock-cells : Should be 1. Contains the Clock ID value used by SCPI commands.
+- clock-output-names : shall be the corresponding names of the outputs.
+- clock-indices: The identifying number for the clocks(i.e.clock_id) in the
+	node. It can be non linear and hence provide the mapping of identifiers
+	into the clock-output-names array.
+
+SRAM and Shared Memory for SCPI
+-------------------------------
+
+A small area of SRAM is reserved for SCPI communication between application
+processors and SCP.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "arm,juno-sram-ns" for Non-secure SRAM on Juno
+
+The rest of the properties should follow the generic mmio-sram description
+found in ../../misc/sysram.txt
+
+Each sub-node represents the reserved area for SCPI.
+
+Required sub-node properties:
+- reg : The base offset and size of the reserved area with the SRAM
+- compatible : should be "arm,juno-scp-shmem" for Non-secure SRAM based
+	       shared memory on Juno platforms
+
+[0] http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0922b/index.html
+[1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
+
+Example:
+
+sram: sram at 50000000 {
+	compatible = "arm,juno-sram-ns", "mmio-sram";
+	reg = <0x0 0x50000000 0x0 0x10000>;
+
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <1>;
+	ranges = <0 0x0 0x50000000 0x10000>;
+
+	cpu_scp_lpri: scp-shmem at 0 {
+		compatible = "arm,juno-scp-shmem";
+		reg = <0x0 0x200>;
+	};
+
+	cpu_scp_hpri: scp-shmem at 200 {
+		compatible = "arm,juno-scp-shmem";
+		reg = <0x200 0x200>;
+	};
+};
+
+mailbox: mailbox0 at 40000000 {
+	....
+	#mbox-cells = <1>;
+};
+
+scpi_protocol: scpi at 2e000000 {
+	compatible = "arm,scpi";
+	mboxes = <&mailbox 0 &mailbox 1>;
+	shmem = <&cpu_scp_lpri &cpu_scp_hpri>;
+
+	clocks {
+		compatible = "arm,scpi-clocks";
+
+		scpi_dvfs: scpi_clocks at 0 {
+			compatible = "arm,scpi-dvfs-clocks";
+			#clock-cells = <1>;
+			clock-indices = <0>, <1>, <2>;
+			clock-output-names = "atlclk", "aplclk","gpuclk";
+		};
+		scpi_clk: scpi_clocks at 3 {
+			compatible = "arm,scpi-variable-clocks";
+			#clock-cells = <1>;
+			clock-indices = <3>, <4>;
+			clock-output-names = "pxlclk0", "pxlclk1";
+		};
+	};
+};
+
+cpu at 0 {
+	...
+	reg = <0 0>;
+	clocks = <&scpi_dvfs 0>;
+};
+
+hdlcd at 7ff60000 {
+	...
+	reg = <0 0x7ff60000 0 0x1000>;
+	clocks = <&scpi_clk 4>;
+};
+
+In the above example, the #clock-cells is set to 1 as required.
+scpi_dvfs has 3 output clocks namely: atlclk, aplclk, and gpuclk with 0,
+1 and 2 as clock-indices. scpi_clk has 2 output clocks namely: pxlclk0
+and pxlclk1 with 3 and 4 as clock-indices.
+
+The first consumer in the example is cpu at 0 and it has '0' as the clock
+specifier which points to the first entry in the output clocks of
+scpi_dvfs i.e. "atlclk".
+
+Similarly the second example is hdlcd at 7ff60000 and it has pxlclk1 as input
+clock. '4' in the clock specifier here points to the second entry
+in the output clocks of scpi_clocks  i.e. "pxlclk1"
