Hey all,

This patchset adds support for the "Auto Update" feature on PolarFire
SoC that allows for writing an FPGA bistream to the SPI flash connected
to the system controller.
On powercycle (or reboot depending on how the firmware implements the
openSBI SRST extension) "Auto Update" will take place, and program the
FPGA with the contents of the SPI flash - provided that that image is
valid and an actual upgrade from that already programmed.

Previously this driver was added to the FPGA subsystem, but as there is
no capability for dynamic reconfiguration due to the device reset
requirement, the FPGA manager framework is not actually used by the
driver. As a result, the FPGA maintainers did not think it belonged in
that directory, and after speaking to Arnd, I have put it in
drivers/firmware/microchip instead. Otherwise, very little has changed
here, compared to the previous submission.

If this is acceptable, I can add this to my eventual SoC drivers pull
request for v6.8.

Cheers,
Conor.

Changes in v3:
- Move the driver to drivers/firmware
- Rename the firmware upload device: s/mpfs_bitstream/mpfs-auto-update/
- Fix the clock parentage for the qspi node added in this series
- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fpga/ZDlJxrybiWy3Mk4Y@yilunxu-OptiPlex-7050/

Changes in v2:
- per Russ' suggestion, the driver has been switched to using the
  firmware-upload API rather than the fpga one
- as a result of that change, the structure of the driver has changed
  significantly, although most of that is reshuffling existing code
  around
- check if the upgrade is possible in probe and fail if it isn't
- only write the image index if it is not already set
- delete the now unneeded debugfs bits
