[RFC v4 0/4] Mediatek MT8173 CMDQ support

[HS Liao]

Hi,

This is Mediatek MT8173 Command Queue(CMDQ) driver. The CMDQ is used
to help read/write registers with critical time limitation, such as
updating display configuration during the vblank. It controls Global
Command Engine (GCE) hardware to achieve this requirement.

These patches have a build dependency on top of v4.6-rc1.

Changes since v3:
 - rebase to v4.6-rc1
 - pass both arm and arm64 arch compilation
 - fix bug of removing free task list in v3
 - marchal return error code
 - use offset instead of physical address
 - centralize release flow
 - add "suspend/resume protection" patch
 - add queue_work() in cmdq_auto_release() to prevent no more flush
   or interrupt to consume waiting tasks
 - remove some debug or redundant code
 - rewrite some code to shrink code size

Best regards,
HS Liao
