[PATCH 0/5] Introduce SCMI System Power Control driver

[Cristian Marussi]

Hi,

This series is a respin of an old series[0] parked for a while waiting for
a required SCMI specification change to be published.

The series, building on top of the SCMI System Power Protocol, adds a new 
SCMI driver which, registering for SystemPower notifications, takes care to
satisfy SCMI plaform system-transitions graceful requests like shutdown or
reboot involving userspace interactions as needed.

Interaction with userspace boils down to the same orderly_ Kernel methods
used by ACPI to handle similar shutdown requests.

The latest SCMI v3.1 specification [1], which adds a new timeout field to
the graceful notifications payload, let the platform advertise for how long
it will possibly wait for the requested system state transition to happen
before forcibly enforcing it.

As a part of the series, patch 2/3 enforces, at the SCMI core level, the
creation of one single SCMI SystemPower device, to avoid promoting the
design of systems in which multiple SCMI platforms can advertise the
concurrent support of SystemPower protocol: when multiple SCMI platform
are defined, only one of them should be in charge of SystemPower comms
with the OSPM, so only one such SystemPower device across all platforms
is allowed to be created.

Thanks,
Cristian
