The patchset introduces a new genetlink family bind/unbind callbacks
and thermal/netlink notifications, which allow drivers to send netlink
multicast events based on the presence of actual user-space consumers.
This functionality optimizes resource usage by allowing disabling
of features when not needed.

Then implement the notification mechanism in the intel_hif driver,
it is utilized to disable the Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI)
dynamically. By implementing a thermal genl notify callback, the driver
can now enable or disable the HFI based on actual demand, particularly
when user-space applications like intel-speed-select or Intel Low Power
daemon utilize events related to performance and energy efficiency
capabilities.

On machines where Intel HFI is present, but there are no user-space
components installed, we can save tons of CPU cycles.

Changes v3 -> v4:

- Add 'static inline' in patch2

Changes v2 -> v3:

- Fix unused variable compilation warning
- Add missed Suggested by tag to patch2
 
Changes v1 -> v2:

- Rewrite using netlink_bind/netlink_unbind callbacks.

- Minor changelog tweaks.

- Add missing check in intel hfi syscore resume (had it on my testing,
but somehow missed in post).

- Do not use netlink_has_listeners() any longer, use custom counter instead.
To keep using netlink_has_listners() would be required to rearrange 
netlink_setsockopt() and possibly netlink_bind() functions, to call 
nlk->netlink_bind() after listeners are updated. So I decided to custom
counter. This have potential issue as thermal netlink registers before
intel_hif, so theoretically intel_hif can miss events. But since both
are required to be kernel build-in (if CONFIG_INTEL_HFI_THERMAL is
configured), they start before any user-space.

Thanks!

I'll post next version of this set just to linux-pm since remaining
patches are thermal specific. If they will be ready to apply
the above dependency can be pulled by Rafael - I assume this will
not create any marge conflict.

v5: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-pm/list/?series=829159
it's on top of linux-pm master, but require additional net dependency,
which can be added by:

git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kuba/linux.git for-thermal-genetlink-family-bind-unbind-callbacks
git merge FETCH_HEAD

and will be merged mainline in the next merge window.
So at this point would be probably better just wait for 6.9-rc1 
when the dependency will be in the mainline, before applying this set.

And that's what's going to happen, unless I have any additional
comments on the patches.

Now applied as 6.10 material (with a minor change in the subject of
the last patch) and I'm assuming that Srinivas likes this.
