rtc/tpo: Driver to support rtc and wakeup on PowerNV platform

The patch implements the OPAL rtc driver that binds with the rtc
driver subsystem. The driver uses the platform device infrastructure
to probe the rtc device and register it to rtc class framework. The
'wakeup' is supported depending upon the property 'has-tpo' present
in the OF node. It provides a way to load the generic rtc driver in
in the absence of an OPAL driver.

The patch also moves the existing OPAL rtc get/set time interfaces to the
new driver and exposes the necessary OPAL calls using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

powerpc/powernv: Fallback to old HMI handling behavior for old firmware

Recently we moved HMI handling into Linux kernel instead of taking
HMI directly in OPAL. This new change is dependent on new OPAL call
for HMI recovery which was introduced in newer firmware. While this new
change works fine with latest OPAL firmware, we broke the HMI handling
if we run newer kernel on old OPAL firmware that results in system hang.

This patch fixes this issue by falling back to old HMI behavior on older
OPAL firmware.

This patch introduces a check for opal token OPAL_HANDLE_HMI to see
if we are running on newer firmware or old firmware. On newer firmware
this check would return OPAL_TOKEN_PRESENT, otherwise we are running on
old firmware and fallback to old HMI behavior.

Old firmware: POWER8 System Firmware Release as of today <= SV810_087
Action: Let OPAL handle HMIs

Newer firmware: in development/yet to be released.
Action: Let Linux host handle HMIs.

This patch depends on opal check token patch posted at ppc-devel

powerpc/powernv: Switch powernv drivers to use machine_xxx_initcall()

A lot of the code in platforms/powernv is using non-machine initcalls.
That means if a kernel built with powernv support runs on another
platform, for example pseries, the initcalls will still run.

That is usually OK, because the initcalls will check for something in
the device tree or elsewhere before doing anything, so on other
platforms they will usually just return.

But it's fishy for powernv code to be running on other platforms, so
switch them all to be machine initcalls. If we want any of them to run
on other platforms in future they should move to sysdev.

powerpc/powernv Platform dump interface

This enables support for userspace to fetch and initiate FSP and
Platform dumps from the service processor (via firmware) through sysfs.

Based on original patch from Vasant Hegde <hegdevasant@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Flow:
- We register for OPAL notification events.
- OPAL sends new dump available notification.
- We make information on dump available via sysfs
- Userspace requests dump contents
- We retrieve the dump via OPAL interface
- User copies the dump data
- userspace sends ack for dump
- We send ACK to OPAL.

sysfs files:
- We add the /sys/firmware/opal/dump directory
- echoing 1 (well, anything, but in future we may support
different dump types) to /sys/firmware/opal/dump/initiate_dump
will initiate a dump.
- Each dump that we've been notified of gets a directory
in /sys/firmware/opal/dump/ with a name of the dump type and ID (in hex,
as this is what's used elsewhere to identify the dump).
- Each dump has files: id, type, dump and acknowledge
dump is binary and is the dump itself.
echoing 'ack' to acknowledge (currently any string will do) will
acknowledge the dump and it will soon after disappear from sysfs.

OPAL APIs:
- opal_dump_init()
- opal_dump_info()
- opal_dump_read()
- opal_dump_ack()
- opal_dump_resend_notification()

Currently we are only ever notified for one dump at a time (until
the user explicitly acks the current dump, then we get a notification
of the next dump), but this kernel code should "just work" when OPAL
starts notifying us of all the dumps present.

powerpc/powernv: Read OPAL error log and export it through sysfs

Based on a patch by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch adds support to read error logs from OPAL and export
them to userspace through a sysfs interface.

We export each log entry as a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog/

Currently, OPAL will buffer up to 128 error log records, we don't
need to have any knowledge of this limit on the Linux side as that
is actually largely transparent to us.

Each error log entry has the following files: id, type, acknowledge, raw.
Currently we just export the raw binary error log in the 'raw' attribute.
In a future patch, we may parse more of the error log to make it a bit
easier for userspace (e.g. to be able to display a brief summary in
petitboot without having to have a full parser).

If we have >128 logs from OPAL, we'll only be notified of 128 until
userspace starts acknowledging them. This limitation may be lifted in
the future and with this patch, that should "just work" from the linux side.

A userspace daemon should:
- wait for error log entries using normal mechanisms (we announce creation)
- read error log entry
- save error log entry safely to disk
- acknowledge the error log entry
- rinse, repeat.

On the Linux side, we read the error log when we're notified of it. This
possibly isn't ideal as it would be better to only read them on-demand.
However, this doesn't really work with current OPAL interface, so we
read the error log immediately when notified at the moment.

I've tested this pretty extensively and am rather confident that the
linux side of things works rather well. There is currently an issue with
the service processor side of things for >128 error logs though.

where:
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx = Starting instruction address
llll llll = Length of the address range.

Each recoverable address range entry is (start address, len,
recovery address), 2 cells each for start and recovery address, 1 cell for
len, totalling 5 cells per entry. During kernel boot time, build up the

powerpc/powernv: Infrastructure to read opal messages in generic format.

Opal now has a new messaging infrastructure to push the messages to

event bit. The format of the opal message is as below:

struct opal_msg {
uint32_t msg_type;
uint32_t reserved;
uint64_t params[8];
};

This patch allows clients to subscribe for notification for specific
message type. It is upto the subscriber to decipher the messages who showed
interested in receiving specific message type.

The interface to subscribe for notification is:

int opal_message_notifier_register(enum OpalMessageType msg_type,
struct notifier_block *nb)

The notifier will fetch the opal message when available and notify the
subscriber with message type and the opal message. It is subscribers
responsibility to copy the message data before returning from notifier
callback.
