H A Drpm-proc.c8ddfa81d Thu Jun 15 11:50:42 CDT 2023 Stephan Gerhold <stephan@gerhold.net> soc: qcom: Add RPM processor/subsystem driver

Add a simple driver for the qcom,rpm-proc compatible that registers the
"smd-edge" and populates other children defined in the device tree.

Note that the DT schema belongs to the remoteproc subsystem while this
driver is added inside soc/qcom. I argue that the RPM *is* a remoteproc,
but as an implementation detail in Linux it can currently not benefit
from anything provided by the remoteproc subsystem. The RPM firmware is
usually already loaded and started by earlier components in the boot
chain and is not meant to be ever restarted.

To avoid breaking existing kernel configurations the driver is always
built when smd-rpm.c is also built. They belong closely together anyway.
To avoid build errors CONFIG_RPMSG_QCOM_SMD must be also built-in if
rpm-proc is.
