[PATCH v4 0/5] Introduce PRU platform consumer API

Hi All,
The Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS
or simply PRUSS) on various TI SoCs consists of dual 32-bit RISC cores
(Programmable Real-Time Units, or PRUs) for program execution.

There are 3 foundation components for TI PRUSS subsystem: the PRUSS platform
driver, the PRUSS INTC driver and the PRUSS remoteproc driver. All of them have
already been merged and can be found under:
1) drivers/soc/ti/pruss.c
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/ti/ti,pruss.yaml
2) drivers/irqchip/irq-pruss-intc.c
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/ti,pruss-intc.yaml
3) drivers/remoteproc/pru_rproc.c
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/remoteproc/ti,pru-consumer.yaml

The programmable nature of the PRUs provide flexibility to implement custom
peripheral interfaces, fast real-time responses, or specialized data handling.
Example of a PRU consumer drivers will be:
- Software UART over PRUSS
- PRU-ICSS Ethernet EMAC

In order to make usage of common PRU resources and allow the consumer drivers
to configure the PRU hardware for specific usage the PRU API is introduced.

This is the v4 of the old patch series[1]. This doesn't have any functional
changes, the old series has been rebased on linux-next (tag: next-20230306).

Changes from v3 [1] to v4:
*) Added my SoB tags in all patches as earlier SoB tags were missing in few
patches.
*) Added Roger's RB tags in 3 patches.
*) Addressed Roger's comment in patch 4/5 of this series. Added check for
invalid GPI mode in pruss_cfg_gpimode() API.
*) Removed patch [4] from this series as that patch is no longer required.
*) Made pruss_cfg_read() and pruss_cfg_update() APIs internal to pruss.c by
removing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and making them static. Now these APIs are
internal to pruss.c and PRUSS CFG space is not exposed.
*) Moved APIs pruss_cfg_gpimode(), pruss_cfg_miirt_enable(),
pruss_cfg_xfr_enable(), pruss_cfg_get_gpmux(), pruss_cfg_set_gpmux() to
pruss.c file as they are using APIs pruss_cfg_read / update.
Defined these APIs in pruss.h file as other drivers use these APIs to
perform respective operations.

Changes from v2 to v3:
*) No functional changes, the old series has been rebased on linux-next (tag:
next-20230306).

This series depends on another series which is already merged in the remoteproc
tree[2] and is part of v6.3-rc1. This series and the remoteproc series form the
PRUSS consumer API which can be used by consumer drivers to utilize the PRUs.

One example of the consumer driver is the PRU-ICSSG ethernet driver [3],which
depends on this series and the remoteproc series[2].
