[PATCH v3] mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: add PD workaround on RK3576

RK3576's power domains have a peculiar design where the PD_NVM power
domain, of which the sdhci controller is a part, seemingly does not have
idempotent runtime disable/enable. The end effect is that if PD_NVM gets
turned off by the generic power domain logic because all the devices
depending on it are suspended, then the next time the sdhci device is
unsuspended, it'll hang the SoC as soon as it tries accessing the CQHCI
registers.

RK3576's UFS support needed a new dev_pm_genpd_rpm_always_on function
added to the generic power domains API to handle what appears to be a
similar hardware design.

Use this new function to ask for the same treatment in the sdhci
controller by giving rk3576 its own platform data with its own postinit
function. The benefit of doing this instead of marking the power domains
always on in the power domain core is that we only do this if we know
the platform we're running on actually uses the sdhci controller. For
others, keeping PD_NVM always on would be a waste, as they won't run
into this specific issue. The only other IP in PD_NVM that could be
affected is FSPI0. If it gets a mainline driver, it will probably want
to do the same thing.

Changes in v3:
- Reword comment and commit message to correct that this is not a
silicon bug, but seemingly intentional design with regards to runtime
power management.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250412-rk3576-emmc-fix-v2-1-830e653ad4f0@collabora.com

Changes in v2:
- Rewrite patch to use dev_pm_genpd_rpm_always_on in sdhci driver
instead, after Ulf Hansson made me aware of its existence
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250408-rk3576-emmc-fix-v1-1-3009828b1b31@collabora.com
