Not all machines have PCI style I/O port memory, or they do not allow
mapping it using the ioport_map() function, whcih results in a
build error with the newly added qemu firmware code:

drivers/firmware/built-in.o: In function `fw_cfg_io_cleanup':
qemu_fw_cfg.c:(.text+0x144): undefined reference to `ioport_unmap'
drivers/firmware/built-in.o: In function `fw_cfg_sysfs_probe':
qemu_fw_cfg.c:(.text+0xb18): undefined reference to `ioport_map'

This adds a Kconfig dependency to ensure the driver can only
be built on platforms that support it.

Make fw_cfg entries of type "file" available via sysfs. Entries
are listed under /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key, in folders
named after each entry's selector key. Filename, selector value,
and size read-only attributes are included for each entry. Also,
a "raw" attribute allows retrieval of the full binary content of
each entry.

The fw_cfg device can be instantiated automatically from ACPI or
the Device Tree, or manually by using a kernel module (or command
line) parameter, with a syntax outlined in the documentation file.

Adds helpers to do SMC and HVC based on ARM SMC Calling Convention.
CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_SMCCC is enabled for architectures that may support the
SMC or HVC instruction. It's the responsibility of the caller to know if
the SMC instruction is supported by the platform.

This patch doesn't provide an implementation of the declared functions.
Later patches will bring in implementations and set
CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_SMCCC for ARM and ARM64 respectively.

with the VPU which has exclusive control of some of the peripherals.

Eric adds the actual firmware driver and Alexander fixes the header file which
was missing include guards.

of the firmware, which is most notable in that it will let us get and

This patch adds support for System Control and Power Interface (SCPI)
Message Protocol used between the Application Cores(AP) and the System
Control Processor(SCP). The MHU peripheral provides a mechanism for
inter-processor communication between SCP's M3 processor and AP.

SCP offers control and management of the core/cluster power states,
various power domain DVFS including the core/cluster, certain system
clocks configuration, thermal sensors and many others.

This protocol driver provides interface for all the client drivers using
SCPI to make use of the features offered by the SCP.

To enable sharing with arm, move the core PSCI framework code to
drivers/firmware. This results in a minor gain in lines of code, but
this will quickly be amortised by the removal of code currently
duplicated in arch/arm.

After Broadcom switched from MIPS to ARM for their home routers we need
to have NVRAM driver in some common place (not arch/mips/). As explained
in Kconfig, this driver is responsible for parsing SoC configuration
data that is passed to the kernel in flash from the bootloader firmware
called "CFE".

We were thinking about putting it in bus directory, however there are
two possible buses for MIPS: drivers/ssb/ and drivers/bcma/. So this
won't fit there and this is why I would like to move this driver to the
drivers/firmware/.
