This Patch series is intended to introduce the potential generic driver for
pin controls over SCMI protocol, provided in the latest beta version of DEN0056 [0].

On ARM-based systems, a separate Cortex-M based System Control Processor (SCP)
provides control on pins, as well as with power, clocks, reset controllers. In this case,
kernel should use one of the possible transports, described in [0] to access SCP and
control clocks/power-domains etc. This driver is using SMC transport to communicate with SCP via
SCMI protocol and access to the Pin Control Subsystem.

The provided driver consists of 2 parts:
 - firmware/arm_scmi/pinctrl.c - the SCMI pinctrl protocol inmplementation
   responsible for the communication with SCP firmware.

 - drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-scmi.c - pinctrl driver, which is using pinctrl
  protocol implementation to access all necessary data.

Configuration:
The scmi-pinctrl driver can be configured using DT bindings.
For example:
/ {
	cpu_scp_shm: scp-shmem at 0x53FF0000 {
		compatible = "arm,scmi-shmem";
		reg = <0x0 0x53FF0000 0x0 0x1000>;
	};

	firmware {
		scmi {
			compatible = "arm,scmi-smc";
			arm,smc-id = <0x82000002>;
			shmem = <&cpu_scp_shm>;
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			scmi_pinctrl: protocol at 19 {
				reg = <0x18>;
				#pinctrl-cells = <0>;

				i2c2_pins: i2c2 {
					groups = "i2c2_a";
					function = "i2c2";
				};
			};
		};
	};
};

&pfc {
	/delete-node/i2c2;
};

So basically, it's enough to move pfc subnode, which configures pin group that should work through
SCMI protocol to scmi_pinctrl node. The current driver implementation is using generic pinctrl dt_node
format.

I've tested this driver on the Renesas H3ULCB Kingfisher board with pinctrl driver ported to the
Arm-trusted-firmware. Unfortunately, not all hardware was possible to test because the Renesas
pinctrl driver has gaps in pins and groups numeration, when Spec [0] requires pins, groups and
functions numerations to be 0..n without gaps.

Also, sharing link to the ATF pinctrl driver I used for testing:

Changes v2 -> v3:
   - update get_name calls as suggested by Cristian Marussi
   - fixing comments
   - refactoring of the dt_bindings according to the comments
Changes v1 -> v2:
   - rebase patches to the latest kernel version
   - use protocol helpers in the pinctrl scmi protocol driver implementation
   - reworked pinctrl_ops. Removed similar calls to simplify the interface
   - implementation of the .instance_deinit callback to properly clean resources
   - add description of the pinctrl protocol to the device-tree schema
