[RFC PATCH 03/10] firmware: arm_scmi: Add configurable polling mode for transports

[Cristian Marussi]

SCMI communications along TX channels can optionally be provided of a
completion interrupt; when such interrupt is not available, command
transactions should rely on polling, where the SCMI core takes care to
repeatedly evaluates the transport-specific .poll_done() function to
determine if a request was completed or timed out.

Such mechanism is already present and working on a single transfer base:
SCMI protocols can indeed enable hdr.poll_completion on specific commands
ahead of each transfer and cause that transaction to be handled with
polling.

Introduce a couple of flags to be able to enforce such polling behaviour
globally at will:

 - scmi_desc.force_polling: to statically switch the whole transport to
 			    polling mode.

 - scmi_chan_info.needs_polling: to switch a single channel dynamically to
 				 polling mode if at runtime is determined
				 that no completion interrupt was available
				 for such channel.
