[RFC,V2,0/4] firmware: arm_scmi: vendors: Qualcomm Vendor Protocol

Message

The SCMI QCOM vendor protocol provides a generic way of exposing a
number of Qualcomm SoC specific features (like memory bus scaling)
through a mixture of pre-determined algorithm strings and param_id
pairs hosted on the SCMI controller. Introduce a client driver that
uses the memlat algorithm string hosted on QCOM SCMI Vendor Protocol
to detect memory latency workloads and control frequency/level of
the various memory buses (DDR/LLCC/DDR_QOS).

Generic QCOM Vendor protocol background:
It was found that a lot of the vendor protocol used internally was
for debug/internal development purposes that would either be super
SoC specific or had to be disabled because of some features being
fused during production. This lead to a large number of vendor
protocol numbers being quickly consumed and were never released
either. Using a generic vendor protocol with functionality abstracted
behind algorithm strings gave us the flexibility of allowing such
functionality exist during initial development/debugging while
still being able to expose functionality like memlat once they have
matured enough. The param-ids are certainly expected to act as ABI
for algorithms strings like MEMLAT.

Now that the SCMI controller firmware (CPUCP) is feature complete
with the impending release of X1E SoCs, I should be able to get out
next re-spins a lot quicker. I'll keep adding more documentation in
the subsequent re-spins. Thanks in advance for taking time to review
the series.

Opens:
* opp-tables are used but they don't get to be added to the scmi device (thus we
  rely on a lot of manual parsing) because the memlat client driver doesn't vote
  on these resources clocks/interconnects/power-domain from the kernel and some
  of the resouces aren't modelled in the first place like DDR_QOS.

V1:
* Add missing bindings for the protocol. [Konrad/Dmitry]
* Use alternate bindings. [Dmitry/Konrad]
* Rebase on top of Cristian's "SCMI multiple vendor protocol support" series. [Cristian]
* Add more documentation wherever possible. [Sudeep]
* Replace pr_err/info with it's dev equivalents.
* Mixed tabs and initialization cleanups in the memlat driver. [Konrad]
* Commit message update for the memlat driver. [Dmitry]
* Cleanups/Fixes suggested for the client driver. [Dmitry/Konrad/Cristian]
* Use opp-tables instead of memfreq-tbl. [Dmitry/Konrad]
* Detect physical cpu to deal with variants with reduced cpu count.
* Add support for DDR_QOS mem_type.

To Dos:
* More documentation [Sudeep/Dmitry/Konrad]
* Use alternate bindings instead of freq-table-Hz. [Dmitry]
* Prevent duplication of code using vendor protocol driver. [Dmitry]
