watchdog support

i.MX8QXP is an ARMv8 SoC which has a Cortex-M4 system controller
inside, the system controller is in charge of controlling power, clock
and watchdog etc..
This patch adds i.MX system controller watchdog driver support,
watchdog operation needs to be done in secure EL3 mode via
ARM-Trusted-Firmware, using SMC call, CPU will trap into
ARM-Trusted-Firmware and then it will request system controller to do
watchdog operation via IPC.

Changes since V4:
- change the module build dependency as depends on IMX_SCU and
HAVE_ARM_SMCCC, as this
driver is ONLY for i.MX SoC with SCU inside and it uses ARM SMC call.

I just realized what you are doing here. So the watchdog will always be
instantiated if/when the module is loaded. I don't think that was the idea,
and it seems to be risky. What happens if someone loads the module on a
system where the watchdog is not supported ? There maye be lots of "Access
Denied" errors, or something undefined may happen.
I thought the "depends on IMX_SCU" was already added in Kconfig, that means
the module will be ONLY built with IMX_SCU enabled, and watchdog will be always
enabled if IMX_SCU is enabled. Is it safe enough?
No. The driver will be built with arm64:defconfig, meaning it will be built
for all arm64 systems using defconfig. Any such system will have the
driver installed as module, and nothing will prevent the user from
running modprobe. But even if it wasn't enabled with defconfig, we must
not instantiate the driver on an arbitrary system.
Is everyone on Cc: ok with this ? Is this how we handle instantiations
nowadays ? Or should the driver be instantiated from imx_scu_probe() in
drivers/firmware/imx/imx-scu.c ?
Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I am still struggling with "no more
instantiations through devicetree".
If the driver is auto-instantiated when the module is loaded, as currently
written, there needs to be some check if it is actually supported, possibly in
imx_sc_wdt_init() or, if that is not possible, in the probe function. I don't like
that, but it would at least prevent the module from being loaded when the
hardware is not supported.
Other modules depend on the IMX_SCU IPC will have defer probe there to make
sure IMX_SCU driver is ready for IPC handle, since watchdog driver ONLY uses
ARM SMC but no IPC call, so I did NOT add the defer probe handle here, so if adding
it can answer your question/concern, then I can add it, although I think the dependency
in Kconfig should be good here. Without SCU firmware ready, the SoC does NOT boot
up A core with ATF/Linux at all.
That has nothing to do with deferred probing. My concern is that the driver will
be instantiated just by loading it, no matter if the hardware supporting it
is present or not.
Having a devicetree node would have prevented that since it instantiates the
child drivers with devm_of_platform_populate() in imx_scu_probe(). The
equivalent is to register the platform device from imx_scu_probe().
That is the only means to prevent the driver from being instantiated where
it shouldn't. As mentioned before, I would have preferred the devicetree method,
but having it no longer available doesn't mean that we should add risky code.
Maybe you can check in the init function if the 'fsl,imx-scu' node exists,
and instantiate the driver if it does. I don't like that either, but it would
be acceptable to me - and maybe better than instantiating it manually from
imx_scu_probe().
