[PATCH v3 0/3] Add interconnect sync state support

From: Georgi Djakov

Bootloaders often leave some system resources enabled such as clocks,
regulators, interconnects etc. We want to keep these resources enabled
until all their consumers are probed. These resources are often shared,
so we must wait for all the consumers to come up, before deciding
whether to turn them off or change the configuration. This patchset is
trying to solve the above problem just for the on-chip interconnects.

The problem is solved by allowing the providers to implement the get_bw()
function which should return the current average/peak bandwidth. These are
used as floor values, that are enforced during boot while the requests from
all consumers are being collected. Then the sync_state() callback is used
to signal that all consumers have been probed, meaning that the floor
bandwidth is not needed anymore and the framework is ready to re-aggregate
and process all requests. If get_bw() is not implemented, the framework
will use INT_MAX as default bandwidth value.

v3:
* Go back to introducing the get_bw() function as in v1. (Saravana)
* If querying the current bandwidth is not supported, max out the
bandwidth. (Saravana)
* Use icc_sync_state also for sc7180.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200722110139.24778-1-georgi.djakov@xxxxxxxxxx/
* Support initial values for both average and peak bandwidth (Mike)
* Skip aggregating/setting for nodes that don't specify initial bw (Mike)
* Drop patch 2/4: Add get_bw() callback (Mike)
* Squash patches 3 and 4.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200709110705.30359-1-georgi.djakov@xxxxxxxxxx/
