[PATCH v6 00/25] PM / Domains: Support hierarchical CPU arrangement (PSCI/ARM)

[Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org>]

This series is a re-worked version from Lina Iyer's two series [1] that got
posted more than a year ago by now. I have picked up the series and done a
significant re-work of it and here's the result. All patches have been changed,
some have been dropped, some are entirely new. For this reason I decided to not
include a version history, as I think people need a fresh start anyway.

For those few changes that are kind of similar, I have kept Lina's authorship,
the rest are now authored by me.

 - Lina (or anybody else for that matter) please tell if you think I should
   change, in regards to what tag/authorship should be for each commit!

Some background:

Overall this series have been discussed over years at various Linux conferences
and LKML, although let me give a brief introduction and then the rest can be
read in each changelog.

For ARM, the PSCI firmware interface may be managing the power to the CPUs.
Depending on the SoC, CPUs may also be arranged in hierarchical manner, which
could add another level of complexity from a CPU idle management point of view.

PSCI v1.0+ adds support for the so called OS initiated CPU suspend mode, which
enables a more fine grained method, allowing Linux to get more control, in
regards to being energy efficient. This is typically useful for these kind of
complex battery driven platforms.

Now, in principle what is missing today around CPU idle management for these
SoCs arranging CPUs in a hierarchical manner, that is what this series intends
to address.

I could potentially have split the series into two parts, but for completeness
I decided to post it as one. Please tell if want me to change!

 - The first part are changes to generic PM code (genpd, cpu_pm and timers):
   Patch 1 -> Patch 9.

 - The second part, which depends on the first, are changes specific to
   PSCI/ARM64 (psci, of, arm64): Patch 10 -> Patch 25.

The series is based on v4.16-rc5, but applies also as of today to Rafael's
linux-pm.git next branch. The code has been tested on a QCOM 410c dragonboard
and I except that test coverage should be increased by some more boards
shortly (for ARM64 with PSCI OSI support - only a few DT changes are needed).

Kind regards
