[RFC v1 0/2] Introducing generic SCMI pinctrl driver implementation

[Oleksii Moisieiev]

This RFC patch series is intended to introduce the potential generic driver for
pin controls over SCMI protocol, provided in the latest beta version of DEN0056 [0].

On ARM-based systems, a separate Cortex-M based System Control Processor (SCP)
provides control on pins, as well as with power, clocks, reset controllers. In this case,
kernel should use one of the possible transports, described in [0] to access SCP and
control clocks/power-domains etc. This driver is using SMC transport to communicate with SCP via
SCMI protocol and access to the Pin Control Subsystem.

The provided driver consists of 2 parts:
 - firmware/arm_scmi/pinctrl.c - the SCMI pinctrl protocol inmplementation
   responsible for the communication with SCP firmware.

 - drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-scmi.c - pinctrl driver, which is using pinctrl
  protocol implementation to access all necessary data.

Configuration:
The scmi-pinctrl driver can be configured using DT bindings.
For example:
/ {
	cpu_scp_shm: scp-shmem@0x53FF0000 {
		compatible = "arm,scmi-shmem";
		reg = <0x0 0x53FF0000 0x0 0x1000>;
	};

	firmware {
		scmi {
			compatible = "arm,scmi-smc";
			arm,smc-id = <0x82000002>;
			shmem = <&cpu_scp_shm>;
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			scmi_pinctrl: protocol@19 {
				reg = <0x18>;
				#pinctrl-cells = <0>;

				i2c2_pins: i2c2 {
					groups = "i2c2_a";
					function = "i2c2";
				};
			};
		};
	};
};

&pfc {
	/delete-node/i2c2;
};

So basically, it's enough to move pfc subnode, which configures pin group that should work through
SCMI protocol to scmi_pinctrl node. The current driver implementation is using generic pinctrl dt_node
format.

I've tested this driver on the Renesas H3ULCB Kingfisher board with pinctrl driver ported to the
Arm-trusted-firmware. Unfortunately, not all hardware was possible to test because the Renesas
pinctrl driver has gaps in pins and groups numeration, when Spec [0] requires pins, groups and
functions numerations to be 0..n without gaps.

This implementation still reqires some features, such as gpio support, but I've posted it as RFC to
start the discussion regarding the driver format.
