[RFC 0/7] Introduce bus domains controller framework

[Benjamin Gaignard]

The goal of this framework is to offer an interface for the
hardware blocks controlling bus accesses rights.

Bus domains controllers are typically used to control if a
hardware block can perform read or write operations on bus.

Smarter domains controllers could be able to define accesses
rights per hardware blocks to control where they can read
or write.

Domains controller configurations are provided in device node,
parsed by the framework and send to the driver to apply them.
Each controller may need different number and type of inputs
to configure a domain so device-tree properties size have to
be define by using "#domainctrl-cells".
Domains configurations properties have to be named "domainsctrl-X"
on device node.
"domainsctrl-names" keyword can also be used to give a name to
a specific configuration.

An example of bus domains controller is STM32 ETZPC hardware block
which got 3 domains:
- secure: hardware blocks are only accessible by software running on trust
  zone.
- non-secure: hardware blocks are accessible by non-secure software (i.e.
  linux kernel).
- coprocessor: hardware blocks are only accessible by the corpocessor.
Up to 94 hardware blocks of the soc could be managed by ETZPC and 
assigned to one of the three domains.

It is an RFC, comments are welcome to help to create this framework, thanks.
