[PATCH v3 1/4] firmware: arm_scmi: Avoid protocol devices in exclusive raw mode

Since standard protocol devices are created without a driver request,
rejecting SCMI driver registration is no longer enough to prevent them
from appearing when raw mode is enabled without coexistence.
When raw-mode debugfs setup succeeds, scmi_probe() returns success
before protocol enumeration, so it does not normally create those
devices. That early return is not sufficient: scmi_device_create() is
exported and can be called later.
Skip protocol-device creation in exclusive raw mode, including named
non-transport requests. Keep named transport devices so raw mode can
still set up its channels. Share the raw-mode condition and transport
name check with the existing bus paths.
