[RFC 0/6] firmware: scmi: add SCMI pinctrl protocol support

This is an RFC and meant to get feedback from other developers as
- the specification (pinctrl part) is still in a draft
- the upstream patch for linux, including dt bindings, is still WIP
- I'm not confident the drivers are generic enough to cover most HWs
- The tests ("ut") doesn't cover all the features yet
This patch series allows users to access SCMI pin control protocol provided
by SCMI server (platform). See SCMI specification document v3.2 beta 2[1]
for more details about SCMI pin control protocol.
The implementation consists of two layers:
- basic helper functions for SCMI pin control protocol
in drivers/firmware/scmi/pinctrl.c (patch#2)
- DM-compliant pinctrl/gpio drivers, which utilizes the helper functions,
in drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-scmi.c (patch#3,#4)

DT bindings
===========
Upstream pinctrl patch for linux defines the bindings in [2] though
it doesn't say much.
I expect that my implementation basically complies with U-Boot's generic
bindings described in [3], but not all the features are verified.
As for gpio, unless you hard-code pin assignments directly in a device
driver, my implementation allows the following alternatives in DT.
Either way, we may need an additional binding description for gpio.
(A)
scmi {
... // other protocols
scmi_pinctrl: protocol at 19 { // Pin control protocol
...
{pinmux definitions}... // if any, including GPIO?
}
}
scmi_gpio: scmi_gpio {
compatible = "arm,scmi-gpio-generic";
gpio-controller;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-ranges = <&scmi_pinctrl 0 5 4>,
<&scmi_pinctrl 4 0 0>;
gpio-ranges-group-names = "",
"ANOTHER_GPIO_GROUP";
}
some_device {
...
reset-gpios = <&scmi_gpio 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
}
(B)
scmi {
... // other protocols
scmi_pinctrl: protocol at 19 { // Pin control protocol
...
{pinmux definitions}... // if any, including GPIO?
scmi_gpio: scmi_gpio {
// no need for "compatible"
gpio-controller;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-ranges = <&scmi_pinctrl 0 5 4>,
<&scmi_pinctrl 4 0 0>;
gpio-ranges-group-names = "",
"ANOTHER_GPIO_GROUP";
}
}
}
some_device {
...
reset-gpios = <&scmi_gpio 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
}
(C)
if "gpio-ranges" is missing in gpio definition, assume 1:1 mapping,
i.e. use a native pinctrl pin number (5).
some_device {
...
reset-gpios = <&scmi_gpio 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
}

Test
====
The patch series was tested on the following platforms:
* sandbox ("ut dm pinmux" and manually using gpio command)
Prerequisite:
=============
* This patch series is based on my WIP "Base protocol support" patches
on v2023.10-rc3. You can fetch the whole code from [4].
