On ARM64 some devices use the AMBA device and not the platform bus for
probing so add support for this. Uses a dummy clock for apb_pclk as ACPI
does not have a suitable clock representation and to keep the core
AMBA bus code unchanged between probing methods.

This patch converts AML debugger into a loadable module.

Note that, it implements driver unloading at the level dependent on the
module reference count. Which means if ACPI debugger is being used by a
userspace program, "rmmod acpi_dbg" should result in failure.

This patch adds /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/acpidbg, which can be used by
userspace programs to access ACPICA debugger functionalities.

Known issue:
1. IO flush support
   acpi_os_notify_command_complete() and acpi_os_wait_command_ready() can
   be used by acpi_dbg module to implement .flush() filesystem operation.
   While this patch doesn't go that far. It then becomes userspace tool's
   duty now to flush old commands before executing new batch mode commands.

<title>ACPI: Fix build errors due objects compiled unconditionally</title>

If the CONFIG_ACPI Kconfig symbol is not enabled and a partial build is
attempted, compile errors will happen due missing types and identifiers.

This can be easily reproduced with the following commands:

$ export CROSS_COMPILE="arm-linux-gnueabihf-" ARCH=arm
$ make allmodconfig
$ make M=drivers/acpi/
  CC      drivers/acpi//tables.o
drivers/acpi//tables.c:235:3: warning: 'struct acpi_subtable_proc' declared inside parameter list
   unsigned int max_entries)
   ^
drivers/acpi//tables.c:235:3: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
drivers/acpi//tables.c: In function 'acpi_parse_entries_array':
drivers/acpi//tables.c:269:4: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct acpi_subtable_proc'
...
scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target 'drivers/acpi//tables.o' failed
make[1]: *** [drivers/acpi//tables.o] Error 1
Makefile:1401: recipe for target '_module_drivers/acpi/' failed
make: *** [_module_drivers/acpi/] Error 2

This is because objects are tried to be built unconditionally even when
CONFIG_ACPI is not enabled. This is usually not a problem since arches'
Kconfig sources drivers/acpi/Kconfig directly and also selects ACPI but
the Makefile should conditionally build the objects as well to prevent
these build errors.

<title>ACPI: Introduce CPU performance controls using CPPC</title>

CPPC stands for Collaborative Processor Performance Controls
and is defined in the ACPI v5.0+ spec. It describes CPU
performance controls on an abstract and continuous scale
allowing the platform (e.g. remote power processor) to flexibly
optimize CPU performance with its knowledge of power budgets
and other architecture specific knowledge.

This patch adds a shim which exports commonly used functions
to get and set CPPC specific controls for each CPU. This enables
CPUFreq drivers to gather per CPU performance data and use
with exisiting governors or even allows for customized governors
which are implemented inside CPUFreq drivers.

This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol, ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE,
which is auto selected by architectures which support the ACPI
based C states for CPU Idle management.

The processor_idle driver in its present form contains declarations
specific to X86 and IA64. Since there are no reasonable defaults
for other architectures e.g. ARM64, the driver is selected only for
X86 or IA64.

This helps in decoupling the ACPI processor_driver from the ACPI
processor_idle driver which is useful for the upcoming alternative
patchwork for controlling CPU Performance (CPPC) and CPU Idle (LPI).

<content type='text'>
The ACPI processor driver is currently tied too closely
to the ACPI P-states (PSS) and other related constructs
for controlling CPU performance.

The newer ACPI specification (v5.1 onwards) introduces
alternative methods to PSS. These new mechanisms are
described within each ACPI Processor object and so they
need to be scanned whenever a new Processor object is detected.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol to allow for
finer configurability among the two options for controlling
performance states. There is no change in functionality and
the option is auto-selected by the architectures which support it.

A future commit will introduce support for CPPC: A newer method of
controlling CPU performance. The OS is not expected to support
CPPC and PSS at the same time, so the Kconfig option lets us make
the two mutually exclusive at compile time.
