[v2,0/7] interconnect: Introduce xlate_extended()

Message

Currently the interconnect framework provides the xlate() callback for
mapping the endpoints from phandle arguments in DT. This is implemented
by the provider drivers. But the endpoints (or the path between the
endpoints) might have an additional attributes, which should be parsed
and populated. During previous discussions [1], it was suggested that
adding more and more DT properties will not scale very well. So instead
of adding DT properties, such data should be put into the 'interconnects'
arguments.

This patchset is introducing a new xlate_extended() callback, which
would allow the interconnect provider drivers to parse additional data
(such as path tags) and allow the framework to make use of them.

Thanks to Sibi for the preliminary feedback and testing this patchset
on the sc7180 platform.

The patchset is based on linux-next (next-20200723).

Changelog:
v2:
* Add a patch to update the DT documentation, which i missed initially.
* Minor changes in commit text of patch 1/7. (Sibi)
* Remove a useless null check in patch 4/7. (Sibi)
* Print a warning if the number of DT args is higher than what we expect
  in patch 3/7. (Matthias)
* Pick Reviewed-by/Tested-by tags.
* TODO: Replace tag IDs with macros in patches 5/7 and 7/7 when [2] lands.
