[PATCH v3 0/5] imx8mp: add support for the IMX AIPSTZ bridge

The AIPSTZ bridge offers some security-related configurations which can
be used to restrict master access to certain peripherals on the bridge.
Normally, this could be done from a secure environment such as ATF before
Linux boots but the configuration of AIPSTZ5 is lost each time the power
domain is powered off and then powered on. Because of this, it has to be
configured each time the power domain is turned on and before any master
tries to access the peripherals (e.g: AP, CM7, DSP, on i.MX8MP).
The child-parent relationship between the bridge and its peripherals
should guarantee that the bridge is configured before the AP attempts
to access the IPs.
Other masters should use the 'access-controllers' property to enforce
a dependency between their device and the bridge device (see the DSP,
for example).
At the moment, we only want to apply a default, more relaxed
configuration, which is why the number of access controller cells
is 0.
The initial version of the series can be found at [1]. The new version
should provide better management of the device dependencies.

Changes in v3:
* make '#address-cells' and '#size-cells' constants and equal to 1 in the
binding. The bus is 32-bit.
* add child node in the example DT snippet.
* the 'aips5' DT node now contains 2 memory regions: that of the
peripherals accessible via this bridge and that of the access controller.
* link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250226165314.34205-1-laurentiumihalcea111@xxxxxxxxx/
Changes in v2:
* adress Frank Li's comments
* pick up some A-b/R-b's
* don't use "simple-bus" as the second compatible. As per Krzysztof's
comment, AIPSTZ is not a "simple-bus".
* link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250221191909.31874-1-laurentiumihalcea111@xxxxxxxxx/
