[PATCH 0/2] ACPM cpufreq with fast_switch support, fast path xfer in ACPM

[Alexey Klimov]

The series implements acpm_do_xfer_fast() that does as little
as possible to make it usabe in atomic context to eventually
use it in cpufreq path with ->fast_switch(). That's basically it.
Cpufreq deals directly with ACPM dvfs instead of going through
clk framework.

This series is Work-In-Progress / RFC.
This is currently a working prototype, but I am sending it as an RFC to
get feedback on the approach — specifically the ACPM fast path of sending
messages. If ACPM part is no-go then cpufreq is not needed.

Known TODO items:
 -- rx/tx channels locks rework;
 -- initial frequency fetching: Exynos850 firmware currently lacks a
    clean get_rate, so the driver falls back to dump defaults until the
    first freq transition.
 -- potential mailbox channels re-implementation.

Any thoughts, testing, or feedback on the architecture would be greatly
appreciated.

This was tested on Exynos850 with example of DT nodes described
in [1] and [2].

Dependencies are different series that adds Exynos850 ACPM support:
-- ACPM mailbox support for Exynos850:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-samsung-soc/20260429-exynos850-mbox-dts-v1-1-7f3ad27ed4f4@linaro.org/
-- sram DT node:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-samsung-soc/20260413-exynos850_sram-v1-1-7fda5b7fb7d4@linaro.org/
-- ACPM support on Exynos850: 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-samsung-soc/20260513-exynos850-acpm-firmware-support-v1-0-3858d097e433@linaro.org/

(the above dependencies pull some other series as well)
