[RFC PATCH 01/10] firmware: arm_scmi: Reset properly xfer SCMI status

[Cristian Marussi]

When an SCMI command transfer fails due to some protocol issue an SCMI
error code is reported inside the SCMI message payload itself and it is
then retrieved and transcribed by the specific transport layer into the
xfer.hdr.status field by transport specific .fetch_response().

The core SCMI transport layer never explicitly reset xfer.hdr.status,
so when an xfer is reused, if a transport misbehaved in handling such
status field, we risk to see an invalid ghost error code.

Reset xfer.hdr.status to SCMI_SUCCESS right before each transfer is
started.
