[PATCH 0/3] soc: qcom: Add Qualcomm PMIC GIO framework and RTC driver using it

[Fenglin Wu]

Qualcomm SoCCP battery-management firmware on the Glymur platform
introduces a General I/O (GIO) interface. GIO exposes firmware
functionality through fixed-size register blocks grouped into
virtual peripherals, including core, battery, USB-C, service,
settings, debug, and OEM, etc. These blocks require block-aligned
transactions, while asynchronous firmware events are reported
as alerts identified by peripheral and alert IDs.

This series introduces a transport-agnostic PMIC GIO framework that
exposes the register space through regmap, tracks transport
availability, and routes alerts through a virtual IRQ domain.
It also provides managed interfaces for registering transports,
state notifiers, IRQ mappings, and auxiliary consumer devices.

It then adds a PMIC GLINK transport instance that converts GIO
block read/write transactions and alert notifications exchanged
over RPMSG into regmap accesses and IRQ delivery, and updated Glymur
to instantiate this GIO client while retaining the existing pmic_glink
clients.

Also, add a new RTC driver based on GIO interface to demonstrate
GIO usage, by accessing the firmware TAD real-time register block
for reading and setting the system time through the GIO regmap.

This also addresses a concern on the Glymur platform, where no
writable RTC device is available to retain the system time during
device reboot.

The battery manager, UCSI, and USB-C altmode functions currently
provided by dedicated PMIC GLINK clients can also be implemented
using the GIO interface. Changes have been made in qcom_battmgr/
ucsi_glink/pmic_glink_altmode drivers and tested on Glymur CRD
device by using the new GIO interface, including SSR scenarios.

This primarily helped validate the function and API sanity of
routing GIO alert messages through virtual interrupts, which
could not be done in the RTC driver because it does not need to
handle alert messages.

However, these client changes are not included in this series to
reduce the risk of introducing the GIO framework while migrating
all existing functionalities at the same time. They could be posted
to migrate these client drivers to their corresponding GIO auxiliary
devices and remove the legacy clients from Glymur once the GIO
implementations have been independently reviewed and accepted.
