[PATCH v3 0/2] Exynos850 AP-to-APM mailbox support

This patch series introduces support for the AP-to-APM mailbox on the 
Exynos850 SoC. This mailbox is required for communicating with the APM 
co-processor using ACPM.

The Exynos850 mailbox operates similarly to the existing gs101 
implementation, but the register offsets and IRQ mask bits differ. 
This series abstracts these differences into platform-specific data 
structures matched via the device tree.

Also, it requires APM-to-AP mailbox clock in CMU_APM block (which was
already merged). I also dropped clk-list emails from this series.

Will be appreciated if it can be tested on gs101 to make sure that I
didn't break anything.
