[PATCH v3 0/3] Switch to using AIPSTZ5 on i.MX8MP

[Laurentiu Mihalcea]

From: Laurentiu Mihalcea <laurentiu.mihalcea@nxp.com>

This series is a combination of the previously dropped patches from [1]
and the config-related patch from [2]. This enables the usage of AIPSTZ5
on i.MX8MP-based platforms.

[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250707234628.164151-1-laurentiumihalcea111@gmail.com/

---
Changes in v3:

* enable CONFIG_IMX_AIPSTZ as module instead of built-in.
* link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251104150612.1874-1-laurentiumihalcea111@gmail.com/

Changes in v2:

* squash patch 3 into patch 4.
* rewrite commit message of patch 1 to state that this driver is used
  for the IMX8MP-EVK board.
* rewrite commit message of patch 2 to (hopefully) better describe
  why we need this change.
* link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250821105634.1893-1-laurentiumihalcea111@gmail.com/

[PATCH v3 1/3] arm64: defconfig: enable i.MX AIPSTZ driver

[Laurentiu Mihalcea]

From: Laurentiu Mihalcea <laurentiu.mihalcea@nxp.com>

Enable the i.MX AIPSTZ driver, which is used for i.MX8MP-based boards such
as NXP's IMX8MP-EVK.

[PATCH v3 2/3] arm64: dts: imx8mp: convert 'aips5' to 'aipstz5'

[Laurentiu Mihalcea]

From: Laurentiu Mihalcea <laurentiu.mihalcea@nxp.com>

Change the programming model of the "aips5" node to allow configuring
the security-related registers exposed by the AIPSTZ5 bridge. Without
this, masters such as the HIFI4 DSP will have their access to the
peripherals connected to the bridge denied after power cycling the
AUDIOMIX domain.

[PATCH v3 3/3] arm64: dts: imx8mp: make 'dsp' node depend on 'aips5'

[Laurentiu Mihalcea]

From: Laurentiu Mihalcea <laurentiu.mihalcea@nxp.com>

The DSP needs to access peripherals on AIPSTZ5 (to communicate with
the AP using AUDIOMIX MU, for instance). To do so, the security-related
registers of the bridge have to be configured before the DSP is started.
Enforce a dependency on AIPSTZ5 by adding the 'access-controllers'
property to the 'dsp' node.

Applied all, thanks!
