[PATCH V2 0/5] firmware: Add support for TI System Control Interface (TI-SCI) protocol driver

[Nishanth Menon]

Hi,

Thanks for the reviews on the patches, here is v2 of the series.

Texas Instruments' Keystone generation System on Chips (SoC)
starting with 66AK2G02[1], now include a dedicated SoC System Control
entity called PMMC(Power Management Micro Controller) in line with
ARM architecture recommendations. The function of this module is
to integrate all system operations in a centralized location.
Communication with the SoC System Control entity from various
processing units like ARM/DSP occurs over Message Manager hardware
block.

This series adds the base support for TI System Control Interface
(TI-SCI) protocol[2]. The protocol is built on top of Texas
Instrument's Message Manager communication mechanism[3].

Overall architecture is very similar to SCPI[4] as follows:
+-------------+   +---------+     +------^-----+
| TI SCI GENPD|   |TISCI Clk|     |TISCI reset |
+------+------+   +----+----+     +------+-----+
       |               |                 |
       |          +----v--------------+  |
       +----------> TISCI Protocol(*) <--+
                  +----+--------------+
                       |
                   +---v-----------+
                   | MAILBOX  FWK  |
                   +---+-----------+
                       |
                   +---v-----------+
                   |  TI MSGMGR    |-> TISCI hardware block
                   +---------------+
