Arm FF-A updates for v6.7
The main addition is the initial support for the notifications and
memory transaction descriptor changes added in FF-A v1.1 specification.
The notification mechanism enables a requester/sender endpoint to notify
a service provider/receiver endpoint about an event with non-blocking
semantics. A notification is akin to the doorbell between two endpoints
in a communication protocol that is based upon the doorbell/mailbox
mechanism.
The framework is responsible for the delivery of the notification from
the ender to the receiver without blocking the sender. The receiver
endpoint relies on the OS scheduler for allocation of CPU cycles to
handle a notification.
OS is referred as the receiver’s scheduler in the context of notifications.
The framework is responsible for informing the receiver’s scheduler that
the receiver must be run since it has a pending notification.
The series also includes support for the new format of memory transaction
descriptors introduced in v1.1 specification.
Apart from the main additions, it includes minor fixes to re-enable FF-A
drivers usage of 32bit mode of messaging and kernel warning due to the
missing assignment of IDR allocation ID to the FFA device. It also adds
emitting 'modalias' to the base attribute of FF-A devices.
