[V3] firmware: arm_scmi: Make scmi core independent of the transport type

Commit Message

The SCMI specification is fairly independent of the transport protocol,
which can be a simple mailbox (already implemented) or anything else.
The current Linux implementation however is very much dependent on the
mailbox transport layer.

This patch makes the SCMI core code (driver.c) independent of the
mailbox transport layer and moves all mailbox related code to a new
file: mailbox.c.

We can now implement more transport protocols to transport SCMI
messages.

The transport protocols just need to provide struct scmi_transport_ops,
with its version of the callbacks to enable exchange of SCMI messages.

@Sudeep: Can you please help me getting this tested?

V2->V3:
- Added more ops to the structure to read/write/memcpy data
- Payload is moved to mailbox.c and is handled in transport specific way
  now. This resulted in lots of changes.

V1->V2:
- Dropped __iomem from payload data.
- Moved transport ops to scmi_desc, and that has a per transport
  instance now which is differentiated using the compatible string.
- Converted IS_ERR_OR_NULL to IS_ERR.

This addresses the comments I had about the implementation.

It's still hard for me to judge whether this is a good abstraction as
long as there is only one backend in the framework, but I see nothing
immediately wrong with it either.

Sure(I may need to rebase on top of -next to test on top of what's queued
for v5.6)

Thanks for review and all the suggestions Arnd.

Peter and Peng(both in cc) is trying out virtio and smc/hvc based transport
respectively. Hopefully they will raise concerns(if any) with the abstraction.

commment is obsolete but I would also ask: are all of these operations supposed to be mandatory supported
on any possible foreseeable transport ? (beside the obviously needed like send_message)

I'm asking because they are all called straight away from the driver core without any NULL check
so that if a new transport should not need one of them it will be forced to anyway implement a dummy one
to comply, which it will be needlessly invoked every time.

minor thing: shouldn't the chosen transport being configurable at compile time with some
option like CONFIG_SCMI_TRANSPORT_MBOX ? or via DT ?
(minor thing in fact since as of now we have only one transport...)

Right, they need to be checked everywhere again. Sorry for missing
that earlier.

They are kept as mandatory for now as we don't really know how it
will look for other transport types. Lets make them optional only when
someone don't need to define them. It would be a simple change anyway.

It is configurable via DT. The compatible should look different in
that case, something like: "arm,scmi-<newtranport>".

Ok, fine.

Ah ok, we're assuming mailbox transport as the default, being the only one existing as of now.
Fine for me, thanks for the explanation.
