Adds the sun6i_hwspinlock driver for the hardware spinlock unit found in
most of the sun6i compatible SoCs.
This unit provides at least 32 spinlocks in hardware. The implementation
supports 32, 64, 128 or 256 32bit registers. A lock can be taken by
reading a register and released by writing a 0 to it. This driver
supports all 4 spinlock setups, but for now only the first setup (32
locks) seem to exist in available devices. This spinlock unit is shared
between all ARM cores and the embedded companion core. All of them can
take/release a lock with a single cycle operation. It can be used to
sync access to devices shared by the ARM cores and the companion core.
There are two ways to check if a lock is taken. The first way is to read
a lock. If a 0 is returned, the lock was free and is taken now. If an 1
is returned, the caller has to try again. Which means the lock is taken.
The second way is to read a 32bit wide status register where every bit
represents one of the 32 first locks. According to the datasheets this
status register supports only the 32 first locks. This is the reason the
first way (lock read/write) approach is used to be able to cover all 256
locks in future devices. The driver also reports the amount of supported
locks via debugfs.

The AM64x SoC contains a HwSpinlock IP instance in the MAIN domain,
and is a minor variant of the IP on the current TI K3 SoCs such as
AM64x, J721E or J7200 SoCs. The IP is not built with the K3 safety
feature in hardware, and has slightly different integration into
the overall SoC.
Add the support for this IP through a new compatible.

In modern Qualcomm platforms the mutex region of the TCSR is forked off
into its own block, all with a offset of 0 and stride of 4096, and in
some of these platforms no other registers in this region is accessed
from Linux.
So add support for directly memory mapping this register space, to avoid
the need to represent this block using a syscon.

flexible-array member
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Now some hwspinlock controllers did not have the requirement to implement
the PM runtime, but drivers must enable the PM runtime to comply with the
hwspinlock core.
Thus we can change the PM runtime support to be optional by validating
the -EACCES error number which means the PM runtime is not enabled, and
removing the return value validating of pm_runtime_put(). So that we
can remove some redundant PM runtime code in drivers.

In some scenarios, user need do some time-consuming or sleepable
operations under the hardware spinlock protection for synchronization
between the multiple subsystems.
For example, there is one PMIC efuse on Spreadtrum platform, which
need to be accessed under one hardware lock. But during the hardware
lock protection, the efuse operation is time-consuming to almost 5 ms,
so we can not disable the interrupts or preemption so long in this case.
Thus we can introduce one new mode to indicate that we just acquire the
hardware lock and do not disable interrupts or preemption, meanwhile we
should force user to protect the hardware lock with mutex or spinlock to
avoid dead-lock.
