[PATCH v6 06/16] firmware: arm_scmi: Add configurable polling mode for transports

[Cristian Marussi]

SCMI communications along TX channels can optionally be provided of a
completion interrupt; when such interrupt is not available, command
transactions should rely on polling, where the SCMI core takes care to
repeatedly evaluate the transport-specific .poll_done() function, if
available, to determine if and when a request was fully completed or
timed out.

Such mechanism is already present and working on a single transfer base:
SCMI protocols can indeed enable hdr.poll_completion on specific commands
ahead of each transfer and cause that transaction to be handled with
polling.

Introduce a couple of flags to be able to enforce such polling behaviour
globally at will:

 - scmi_desc.force_polling: to statically switch the whole transport to
   polling mode.

 - scmi_chan_info.no_completion_irq: to switch a single channel dynamically
   to polling mode if, at runtime, is determined that no completion
   interrupt was available for such channel.

v5 --> v6
- removed check on replies received by IRQs when xfer was requested
  as poll_completion (not all transport can suppress IRQs on an xfer basis)
v4 --> v5
- make force_polling const
- introduce polling_enabled flag to simplify checks on do_xfer
v3 --> v4:
- renamed .needs_polling flag to .no_completion_irq
- refactored error path when polling needed but not supported
