[PATCH v4 0/5] remoteproc: imx_rproc: Support i.MX95

i.MX95 features a Cortex-M33 core, six Cortex-A55 cores, and
one Cortex-M7 core. The System Control Management Interface(SCMI)
firmware runs on the M33 core. The i.MX95 SCMI firmware named System
Manager(SM) includes vendor extension protocols, Logical Machine
Management(LMM) protocol and CPU protocol and etc.

There are three cases for M7:
(1) M7 in a separate Logical Machine(LM) that Linux couldn't control it.
(2) M7 in a separate Logical Machine that Linux could control it using
    LMM protocol
(3) M7 runs in same Logical Machine as A55, so Linux could control it
    using CPU protocol

In patch 2, Use LMM and CPU protocol to manage M7. More info could be
found in the patch commit log

Current setup relies on pre-Linux software(U-Boot) to do
M7 TCM ECC initialization. In future, we could add the support in Linux
to decouple U-Boot and Linux.

Patchset was tested with below boot images when the patchset based on next-20250526:
imx-boot-variant-rpmsg-imx95-19x19-lpddr5-evk-sd.bin-flash_lpboot_sm_a55 (Use LMM protocol)
imx-boot-variant-alt-imx95-19x19-lpddr5-evk-sd.bin-flash_alt (Use CPU protocol)
imx-boot-imx95-19x19-lpddr5-evk-sd.bin-flash_a55 (M7 not under A55 control)
imx-boot-imx95-19x19-lpddr5-evk-sd.bin-flash_all (M7 not under A55 control)

Patchset was tested again with rebase on next-20250623
Patchset was tested again with rebase on next-20250710

Patchset is re-based on next-20250603.

Thanks for Daniel/Frank helping review the patchset before posting out to list.
