The T-Head TH1520 SoC uses an E902 co-processor running Always-On (AON)
firmware to manage power, clock, and other system resources [1]. This
patch introduces a driver implementing the AON firmware protocol,
allowing the Linux kernel to communicate with the firmware via mailbox
channels.  Through an RPC-based interface, the kernel can initiate power
state transitions, update resource configurations, and perform other
AON-related tasks.

Alive Clock and Power Manager (ACPM) Message Protocol is defined for
the purpose of communication between the ACPM firmware and masters
(AP, AOC, ...). ACPM firmware operates on the Active Power Management
(APM) module that handles overall power activities.

ACPM and masters regard each other as independent hardware component and
communicate with each other using mailbox messages and shared memory.

This protocol driver provides the interface for all the client drivers
making use of the features offered by the APM. Add ACPM protocol support.

Add support for Auto Update reprogramming of the FPGA fabric on
PolarFire SoC, using the fw_upload mechanism a la the
intel-m10-bmc-sec-update driver.

This driver only writes the image to the spi flash &amp; performs
validation on it, as the entire FPGA becomes unusable during the actual
reprogramming of a bitstream. To initiate the reprogramming itself, a
device reset is required. The SBI SRST extension's "cold reboot" can
trigger such a device reset, provided corresponding support has been
enabled in the HSS (Hart Software Services), the provider of SBI runtime
services on PolarFire SoC.

While this is a driver responsible for the reprogramming of an FPGA,
there is no dynamic discovery of devices involved, as runtime
reconfiguration is not possible due to the device reset requirements.
Therefore FPGA manager subsystem is not used by this driver and the FPGA
subsystem maintainers were unwilling to accept it there.

<title>firmware: Add support for Qualcomm UEFI Secure Application</title>

<id>urn:sha1:759e7a2b62eb3ef3c93ffeb5cca788a09627d7d9</id>
<content type='text'>
On platforms using the Qualcomm UEFI Secure Application (uefisecapp),
EFI variables cannot be accessed via the standard interface in EFI
runtime mode. The respective functions return EFI_UNSUPPORTED. On these
platforms, we instead need to talk to uefisecapp. This commit provides
support for this and registers the respective efivars operations to
access EFI variables from the kernel.

Communication with uefisecapp follows the Qualcomm QSEECOM / Secure OS
conventions via the respective SCM call interface. This is also the
reason why variable access works normally while boot services are
active. During this time, said SCM interface is managed by the boot
services. When calling ExitBootServices(), the ownership is transferred
to the kernel. Therefore, UEFI must not use that interface itself (as
multiple parties accessing this interface at the same time may lead to
complications) and cannot access variables for us.

<id>urn:sha1:00b1248606ba3979ccae30ed11df8cdc1a84245a</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for SCM calls to Secure OS and the Secure Execution
Environment (SEE) residing in the TrustZone (TZ) via the QSEECOM
interface. This allows communication with Secure/TZ applications, for
example 'uefisecapp' managing access to UEFI variables.

For better separation, make qcom_scm spin up a dedicated child
(platform) device in case QSEECOM support has been detected. The
corresponding driver for this device is then responsible for managing
any QSEECOM clients. Specifically, this driver attempts to automatically
detect known and supported applications, creating a client (auxiliary)
device for each one. The respective client/auxiliary driver is then
responsible for managing and communicating with the application.

While this patch introduces only a very basic interface without the more
advanced features (such as re-entrant and blocking SCM calls and
listeners/callbacks), this is enough to talk to the aforementioned
'uefisecapp'.
