[PATCH v2 0/2] Add SCMI full message tracing

Hi,

after a few recent troubles handling too strictly out-of-spec replies from
SCMI servers deployed in the wild, I though it could have been useful to
have a basic way to dump at will the effective full payloads of
successfully transmitted/received SCMI messages.

The existing SCMI traces already collect a bunch of information about SCMI
message exchanges but they do NOT keep any payload information: this is
certainly preferable most of the time since dumping full SCMI messages to
the trace buffer involves a full copy of the payload.

For this reason I added a new distinct trace_scmi_msg_dump with this series
in order to be able to selectively enable at will message dumping only when
required.

Only successfully transmitted and received (valid) xfers are dumped.

Following the advice from Jim, I added some parsing/interpretation of the
header, so that the final result is something like:

root at deb-guest:~# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/scmi/scmi_msg_dump/enable 
root at deb-guest:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

Payload is dumped as it comes through byte-by-byte without any endianity
conversion to avoid further load on the system.

Thanks,
Cristian
