drivers: mfd: vexpress: add Serial Power Controller (SPC) support
The TC2 versatile express core tile integrates a logic block that provides the
interface between the dual cluster test-chip and the M3 microcontroller that
carries out power management. The logic block, called Serial Power Controller
(SPC), contains several memory mapped registers to control among other things
low-power states, operating points and reset control.
This patch provides a driver that enables run-time control of features
implemented by the SPC control logic.
The driver also provides a bridge interface through the vexpress config
infrastructure. Operations allowing to read/write operating points are
made to go via the same interface as configuration transactions so that
all requests to M3 are serialized.
Device tree bindings documentation for the SPC component is provided with
the patchset.
