[PATCH v5 04/13] firmware: arm_scmi: Add support for atomic transports

[Cristian Marussi]

An SCMI transport can declare itself as .atomic_capable in order to signal
to the SCMI core that all its TX path is executed in atomic context.

When a specific platform configuration had also properly configured such a
transport as .atomic_enabled, the SCMI core will also take care not to
sleep in the corresponding RX path while waiting for a response or a
delayed response.

v4 --> v5
- added .atomic_enabled flag to decide wheter to enable atomic mode or not
  for atomic_capable transports
- reviewed commit message
