mmc: sdhci-msm: Add support for firmware-managed resource platforms

This commit introduces a firmware-managed variant of the sdhci-msm driver for
Qualcomm SoCs such as Nord, managing power and performance states via logical
power domains and OPPs rather than programming GCC clocks and regulators
directly.

[Severity: Medium]
Does combining PD_FLAG_DEV_LINK_ON in sdhci_msm_fw_v5_var with manual
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(pwr_dev) and pm_runtime_put_sync(pwr_dev) calls in
sdhci_msm_fw_power_state() cause duplicate runtime PM reference counting on
pwr_dev?

When dev_pm_domain_attach_list() runs with PD_FLAG_DEV_LINK_ON (and without
PD_FLAG_NO_DEV_LINK), it creates a device link with DL_FLAG_STATELESS |
DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME | DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE, which already calls
pm_runtime_get_sync(pwr_dev), and pm_runtime_set_active(&pdev->dev) in
sdhci_msm_probe() also calls rpm_get_suppliers(&pdev->dev). Calling
sdhci_msm_fw_power_state(&pdev->dev, true) in sdhci_msm_probe() and
sdhci_msm_runtime_resume() then takes an additional manual runtime PM
reference on pwr_dev.

Because __rpm_callback() invokes sdhci_msm_runtime_suspend() before
__rpm_put_suppliers(&pdev->dev, false), the device link still holds its
runtime PM reference on pwr_dev when sdhci_msm_fw_power_state(dev, false)
calls pm_runtime_put_sync(pwr_dev). As a result, __pm_runtime_idle() sees
usage_count > 0 and returns 0 without suspending pwr_dev synchronously.

Similarly, in the error path of sdhci_msm_probe() and in sdhci_msm_remove(),
sdhci_msm_fw_power_state(&pdev->dev, false) runs before
dev_pm_domain_detach_list() deletes the device link, and during
pm_runtime_force_suspend(&pdev->dev), if pm_runtime_need_not_resume() is
false, pm_runtime_set_suspended() / rpm_put_suppliers() is skipped, leaving
the device link's runtime PM reference on pwr_dev active.

[Severity: Low]
Is the fw_detach label in sdhci_msm_probe() needed? Nothing in
sdhci_msm_probe() jumps to fw_detach, which triggers an unused-label compiler
warning (-Wunused-label) and breaks builds with CONFIG_WERROR=y.

[Severity: High]
Can detaching and clearing msm_host->pd_list before pm_runtime_get_sync() and
pm_runtime_disable() in sdhci_msm_remove() cause a NULL pointer dereference
and runtime PM refcount underflow?

In sdhci_msm_remove(), sdhci_remove_host() releases the MMC host while runtime
PM with autosuspend is still enabled on &pdev->dev (or &pdev->dev may already
be runtime-suspended when entering sdhci_msm_remove()):

  sdhci_msm_remove()
    sdhci_remove_host()
    if (msm_host->fw_managed) {
        sdhci_msm_fw_power_state(&pdev->dev, false);
        dev_pm_domain_detach_list(msm_host->pd_list);
        msm_host->pd_list = NULL;
    }
    pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev)
      -> sdhci_msm_runtime_resume()
        -> sdhci_msm_fw_power_state(&pdev->dev, true)
          -> msm_host->pd_list->pd_devs[DOMAIN_IDX_POWER]

If &pdev->dev is runtime-suspended at that point,
sdhci_msm_fw_power_state(&pdev->dev, false) calls pm_runtime_put_sync(pwr_dev)
a second time (underflowing pwr_dev's usage_count), and the subsequent
pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev) invokes sdhci_msm_runtime_resume() ->
sdhci_msm_fw_power_state(&pdev->dev, true), which dereferences
msm_host->pd_list after it has already been detached and set to NULL. Even if
&pdev->dev is active, an autosuspend timer can fire concurrently before
pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev) is called.

Should the msm_host->fw_managed cleanup in sdhci_msm_remove() be moved after
pm_runtime_get_sync(), pm_runtime_disable(), and pm_runtime_put_noidle(),
matching clk_bulk_disable_unprepare() and the unwind order in
sdhci_msm_probe()?

[Severity: High]
Should sdhci_msm_runtime_suspend() and sdhci_msm_runtime_resume() still update
host->runtime_suspended under host->lock when msm_host->fw_managed is true?

In drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c, both sdhci_led_control() and sdhci_irq() check
host->runtime_suspended under host->lock before accessing SDHCI MMIO registers
(SDHCI_HOST_CONTROL and SDHCI_INT_STATUS):

  sdhci_led_control()
    spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock, flags);
    if (host->runtime_suspended)
        goto out;

  sdhci_irq()
    spin_lock(&host->lock);
    if (host->runtime_suspended) {
        spin_unlock(&host->lock);
        return IRQ_NONE;
    }
    intmask = sdhci_readl(host, SDHCI_INT_STATUS);

Because sdhci_msm_runtime_suspend() and sdhci_msm_runtime_resume() return
early for msm_host->fw_managed without updating host->runtime_suspended (as
added in commit f8def10f73a5 ("mmc: sdhci-msm: pervent access to suspended
controller")), host->runtime_suspended remains false while the SDCC power
domain is powered off, allowing LED brightness updates or shared/spurious
interrupts to access unpowered MMIO registers.
