  firmware: arm_scmi: Add support for unidirectional mailbox channels (2023-04-05 09:39:18 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Arm SCMI updates for v6.4

The main and only new addition this time around is the support for
unidirectional mailbox channels. SCMI communicates between the agent
and the platform using one bidirectional 'a2p' channel used by the agent
to send SCMI commands and synchronously receive the related replies, and
an optional 'p2a' unidirectional channel used to asynchronously receive
delayed responses and notifications emitted from the platform.

In order to support platforms that support only unidirectional mailbox
hardware channels, the existing bindings are extended to support the
same. Both bidirectional and unidirectional channels support for the
SCMI mailbox can coexist. The correct and effective combination of
defined 'mboxes' and 'shmem' descriptors determines the type of the
mailbox channel.

This also contains a fix for the transfers allocation on Rx channel
especially when the base protocol doesn't use Rx channel while some
of the protocols can have dedicated Rx channels.
