Hi,

This series introduces necessary ti_sci driver functionality in
preparation of supporting DeepSleep mode for suspend to mem on TI K3
AM62 [1]. This series applies on top of [2], which is also required for
proper system suspend operation.

Deep Sleep mode is described in section "5.2.4.4 DeepSleep" of the AM62
Technical Reference Manual: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruiv7

The kernel triggers entry to Deep Sleep mode through the mem suspend
transition with the following:

* Use a TF-A binary that supports PSCI_SYSTEM_SUSPEND call, which is
  enabled by the pending patches here [3]. This causes system to use
  PSCI system suspend as last step of mem sleep.

* The firmware requires that the OS sends a TISCI_MSG_PREPARE_SLEEP
  message in order to provide details about suspend, so we must add the
  ability to send this message. (Patch 3)

* A memory carveout address must be provided to the firmware using
  the above message, which is passed through device tree to the
  driver. (Patches 1 and 4)

* System must load firmware to a specific location before Deep Sleep is
  entered, and this is accomplished using an lpm memory region in device
  tree to indicate where this firmware should be loaded, and also a
  "ti,lpm-firmware-name" property to indicate the name of the firmware
  to load. The ti_sci driver checks in its suspend handler to see if
  the firmware has been loaded and if not, loads it. (Patches 2 and 5)

* Finally, the ti_sci driver must actually send TISCI_MSG_PREPARE_SLEEP
  message to firmware with the above information included, which it
  does during the driver suspend handler when PM_MEM_SUSPEND is the
  determined state being entered. (Patch 6)

This is tested on am625-sk using a ramdisk with all devices disabled
apart from cpu0, main_uart0, dmsc, and secure_proxy_main.

Regards,
Dave
