Pull more EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "Follow-up tweaks for EFI changes - they mostly address issues
  introduced this merge window, except for Heinrich's patch:

   - fix new DXE service invocations for mixed mode

   - use correct Kconfig symbol when setting PE header flag

   - clean up the drivers/firmware/efi Kconfig dependencies so that
     features that depend on CONFIG_EFI are hidden from the UI when the
     symbol is not enabled.

  Also included is a RISC-V bugfix from Heinrich to avoid read-write
  mappings of read-only firmware regions in the EFI page tables"

Geert reports that the new option CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME is user
visible even when EFI support is disabled, which is unnecessary and
clutters the Kconfig interface.

So let's move this option into the existing Kconfig submenu that already
depends on CONFIG_EFI, and while at it, give some other options the same
treatment.

Also clean up a small wart where the efi/ subdirectory is listed twice.
Let's just list it unconditionally so that both EFI and UEFI_CPER based
pieces will be built independently (the latter only depends on the
former on !X86)

Some of mediatek processors contain
the Tensilica HiFix DSP for audio processing.

The communication between Host CPU and DSP firmware is
taking place using a shared memory area for message passing.

ADSP IPC protocol offers (send/recv) interfaces using
mediatek-mailbox APIs.

We use two mbox channels to implement a request-reply protocol.

<title>firmware: cs_dsp: add driver to support firmware loading on Cirrus Logic DSPs</title>

wm_adsp originally provided firmware loading on some audio DSP and was
implemented as an ASoC codec driver. However, the firmware loading now
covers a wider range of DSP cores and peripherals containing them,
beyond just audio. So it needs to be available to non-audio drivers. All
the core firmware loading support has been moved into a new driver
cs_dsp, leaving only the ASoC-specific parts in wm_adsp.

<title>drivers/firmware: consolidate EFI framebuffer setup for all arches</title>

<content type='text'>
The register_gop_device() function registers an "efi-framebuffer" platform
device to match against the efifb driver, to have an early framebuffer for
EFI platforms.

But there is already support to do exactly the same by the Generic System
Framebuffers (sysfb) driver. This used to be only for X86 but it has been
moved to drivers/firmware and could be reused by other architectures.

Also, besides supporting registering an "efi-framebuffer", this driver can
register a "simple-framebuffer" allowing to use the siple{fb,drm} drivers
on non-X86 EFI platforms. For example, on aarch64 these drivers can only
be used with DT and doesn't have code to register a "simple-frambuffer"
platform device when booting with EFI.

For these reasons, let's remove the register_gop_device() duplicated code
and instead move the platform specific logic that's there to sysfb driver.

<content type='text'>
The x86 architecture has generic support to register a system framebuffer
platform device. It either registers a "simple-framebuffer" if the config
option CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is enabled, or a legacy VGA/VBE/EFI FB device.

But the code is generic enough to be reused by other architectures and can
be moved out of the arch/x86 directory.

This will allow to also support the simple{fb,drm} drivers on non-x86 EFI
platforms, such as aarch64 where these drivers are only supported with DT.

Allow the qcom_scm driver to be loadable as a permenent module.

This still uses the "depends on QCOM_SCM || !QCOM_SCM" bit to
ensure that drivers that call into the qcom_scm driver are
also built as modules. While not ideal in some cases its the
only safe way I can find to avoid build errors without having
those drivers select QCOM_SCM and have to force it on (as
QCOM_SCM=n can be valid for those drivers).

Reviving this now that Saravana's fw_devlink defaults to on,
which should avoid loading troubles seen before.

The Arm FF for Armv8-A specification has concept of endpoints or
partitions. In the Normal world, a partition could be a VM when
the Virtualization extension is enabled or the kernel itself.

In order to handle multiple partitions, we can create a FFA device for
each such partition on a dedicated FFA bus. Similarly, different drivers
requiring FFA transport can be registered on the same bus. We can match
the device and drivers using UUID. This is mostly for the in-kernel
users with FFA drivers.
