[ Upstream commit 7b661285aa7507eab79efff0a418445157db4141 ]

Sashiko reported an inconsistent use of NULL vs ERR_PTR()
returns in the stub helpers in xynos-acpm-protocol.h.

Since this only happens on dead code for COMPILE_TEST=y, this is not
really a bug though.  Having stub functions that return NULL is a common
way to define optional interfaces, where callers still work when the
feature is disabled, though this clearly does not work for acpm because
some callers have a NULL pointer dereference when compile testing.

Since CONFIG_EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL already supports compile-testing itself,
and all (both) drivers using it clearly require the support, so this
just simplifies the option space without losing any build coverage.

Remove the stub functions entirely and adjust the one Kconfig
dependency to require EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL unconditionally.

Fixes: 6837c006d4e7 ("firmware: exynos-acpm: add empty method to allow compile test")

[ Upstream commit fc13a4b9b9c8cb0b8e5ba54b21712d00f810496c ]

Introduce devm_acpm_get_by_phandle() to standardize how consumer
drivers acquire a handle to the ACPM IPC interface. Enforce the
use of the "samsung,acpm-ipc" property name across the SoC and
simplify the boilerplate code in client drivers.

The first consumer of this helper is the Exynos ACPM Thermal Management
Unit (TMU) driver. The TMU utilizes a hybrid management approach: direct
register access from the Application Processor (AP) is restricted to the
interrupt pending (INTPEND) registers for event identification.
High-level functional tasks, such as sensor initialization, threshold
programming, and temperature reads, are delegated to the ACPM firmware
via this IPC interface.

<title>firmware: exynos-acpm: Drop fake 'const' on handle pointer</title>

<content type='text'>
All the functions operating on the 'handle' pointer are claiming it is a
pointer to const thus they should not modify the handle.  In fact that's
a false statement, because first thing these functions do is drop the
cast to const with container_of:

  struct acpm_info *acpm = handle_to_acpm_info(handle);

And with such cast the handle is easily writable with simple:

  acpm-&gt;handle.ops.pmic_ops.read_reg = NULL;

The code is not correct logically, either, because functions like
acpm_get_by_node() and acpm_handle_put() are meant to modify the handle
reference counting, thus they must modify the handle.  Modification here
happens anyway, even if the reference counting is stored in the
container which the handle is part of.

The code does not have actual visible bug, but incorrect 'const'
annotations could lead to incorrect compiler decisions.

To allow ACPM clients to simply be children of the ACPM node in DT,
they need to be able to get the ACPM handle based on that ACPM node
directly.

Add an API to allow them to do so, devm_acpm_get_by_node().

At the same time, the previous approach of acquiring the ACPM handle
via a DT phandle is now obsolete and we can remove
devm_acpm_get_by_phandle(), which was there to facilitate that. There
are no existing or anticipated upcoming users of that API, because all
clients should be children of the ACPM node going forward.

Note that no DTs have been merged that use the old approach, so doing
this API change in this driver now will not affect any existing DTs or
client drivers.

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.
