Add support for retrieving BPMP debug information via in-band messaging
as opposed to using shared-memory which older BPMP firmware used. Note
that it is possible to detect at runtime whether the BPMP firmware being
used supports the in-band messaging for retrieving the debug
informaation. Therefore, if the BPMP firmware supports the in-band
messaging for debug use this and otherwise fall-back to using shared
memory.

Currently, BPMP debug information is accessible via the Linux debugfs
file-system using a shared-memory scheme. More recent BPMP firmware now
supports accessing the debug information by in-band messaging which does
not require shared-memory. To prepare for adding in-band debugfs support
for the BPMP, move the shared-memory specific initialisation from the
tegra_bpmp_init_debugfs() into a sub-function.

Add checking of the BPMP-FW return code values for MRQ_DEBUGFS calls.
Also, development versions of the firmware may have debugfs with a
directory structure larger than 256 KiB. Hence increase the size of the
memory buffer to accommodate those firmware revisions.
And finally, ensure that no access outside of allocated memory buffer
happens in case BPMP-FW returns an invalid response size (nbytes) from
mrq_debugfs_dumpdir() call.

Since commit 93d2e4322aa7 ("of: platform: Batch fwnode parsing when
adding all top level devices") was added, the probing of the Tegra
SRAM device has occurred later in the boot sequence, after the BPMP
has been probed. The BPMP uses sections of the SRAM for shared memory
and if the BPMP is probed before the SRAM then it fails to probe and
never tries again. This is causing a boot failure on Tegra186 and
Tegra194. Fix this by allowing the probe of the BPMP to be deferred if
the SRAM is not available yet.

The Tegra BPMP driver typically ends up deferring probe because it wants
to attach to the SMMU, so there's little sense in registering it at the
core init-level.
One side-effect of this is that the driver will be probed later even if
it doesn't want to attach to an SMMU, which means that consumers will
end up deferring probe, which in turn takes care of ordering the suspend
and resume queue in the correct way. Currently since suspend/resume
order depends on instantiation order, and because BPMP is listed at the
very end of the device tree (after most of its consumers), the suspend
and resume queue is ordered wrongly, which can cause issues for drivers
(like I2C) which suspend after and resume before BPMP. In the case of
I2C this typically leads to the clock failing to enable.
Besides fixing this suspend/resume ordering issue, this also has the
added benefit of allowing the driver to be built as a loadable module,
which can help decrease the size of multiplatform kernel.

As a preparatory change to refactor BPMP driver to support other than
Tegra186 and Tegra194 chip generations, reword and slightly refactor
some of the functions to better match with what is actually happening
in the wire-level protocol.
The communication with BPMP is essentially a Remote Procedure Call
consisting of "request" and "response". Either side (BPMP or CPU) can
initiate the communication. The state machine for communication
consists of following steps (from Linux point of view):
Linux initiating the call:
1) check that channel is free to transmit a request
(is_request_channel_free)
2) copy request message payload to shared location
3) post the request in channel (post_request)
4) notify BPMP that channel state has been updated (ring_doorbell)
5) wait for response (is_response_ready)
6) copy response message payload from shared location
7) acknowledge the response in channel (ack_response)
BPMP initiating the call:

The Tegra194 BPMP only implements 5 channels (4 to BPMP, 1 to CCPLEX),
and they are not placed contiguously in memory. The current channel
management in the BPMP driver does not support this.
Simplify and refactor the channel management such that only one atomic
transmit channel and one receive channel are supported, and channels
are not required to be placed contiguously in memory. The same
configuration also works on T186 so we end up with less code.

workqueue: kill off ACCESS_ONCE()
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.
However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.
It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the Tegra IVC code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

Tegra power management firmware running on the co-processor (BPMP)
implements a simple pseudo file system akin to debugfs. The file
system can be used for debugging purposes to examine and change the
status of selected resources controlled by the firmware (such as
clocks, resets, voltages, powergates, ...).
Add support to "mirror" the firmware's file system to debugfs. At
boot, query firmware for a list of all possible files and create
corresponding debugfs entries. Read/write of individual files is
implemented by sending a Message ReQuest (MRQ) that passes the full
file path name and data to firmware via DRAM.

The Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP) is a co-processor found
on Tegra SoCs. It is designed to handle the early stages of the boot
process and offload power management tasks (such as clocks, resets,
powergates, ...) as well as system control services.
Compared to the ARM SCPI, the services provided by BPMP are message-
based rather than method-based. The BPMP firmware driver provides the
services to transmit data to and receive data from the BPMP. Users can
also register a Message ReQuest (MRQ), for which a service routine will
be run when a corresponding event is received from the firmware.
A set of messages, called the BPMP ABI, are specified for a number of
different services provided by the BPMP (such as clocks or resets).

The Inter-VM communication (IVC) is a communication protocol which is
designed for interprocessor communication (IPC) or the communication
between the hypervisor and the virtual machine with a guest OS.
Message channels are used to communicate between processors. They are
backed by DRAM or SRAM, so care must be taken to maintain coherence of
data.
The IVC library maintains memory-based descriptors for the transmission
and reception channels as well as the data coherence of the counter and
payload. Clients, such as the driver for the BPMP firmware, can use the
library to exchange messages with remote processors.
