[PATCH v9 00/11] PM / Domains: Support hierarchical CPU arrangement (PSCI/ARM) (a subset)

[Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org>]

I have digested the review comments so far, including a recent offlist chat
with with Lorenzo Pieralisi around the debatable PSCI changes. More or less I
have a plan for how to move forward.

However, to avoid re-posting non-changed patches over and over again, I decided
to withhold the more debatable part from this v9, hence this is not the complete
series to make things play. In v9, I have just included the trivial changes,
which are either already acked/reviewed or hopefully can be rather soon/easily.

My hope is to get this queued for v4.20, to move things forward. I know it's
late, but there are more or less nothing new here since v8.

Kind regards
Ulf Hansson

Changes in v9:
 - Collect only a subset from the changes in v8.
 - Patch 3 is new, documenting existing genpd flags. Future wise, this means
when a new genpd flag is invented, we must also properly document it.
 - No changes have been made to the patches picked from v8.
 - Dropped the text from v8 cover-letter[1], to avoid confusion. When posting v10
(or whatever the next version containing the rest becomes), I am going re-write
the cover-letter to clarify, more exactly, the problems this series intends to
solve. The earlier text was simply too vague.

Changes in v8:
 - Added some tags for reviews and acks.
 - Cleanup timer patch (patch6) according to comments from Rafael.
 - Rebased series on top of v4.18rc1 - it applied cleanly, except for patch 5.
 - While adopting patch 5 to new genpd changes, I took the opportunity to
   improve the new function description a bit.
 - Corrected malformed SPDX-License-Identifier in patch20.

Changes in v7:
 - Addressed comments concerning the PSCI changes from Mark Rutland, which moves
   the psci firmware driver to a new firmware subdir and change to force PSCI PC
   mode during boot to cope with kexec'ed booted kernels.
 - Added some maintainers in cc for the timer/nohz patches.
 - Minor update to the new genpd governor, taking into account the state's
   poweroff latency while validating the sleep duration time.
 - Addressed a problem pointed out by Geert Uytterhoeven, around calling
   pm_runtime_get|put() for CPUs that has not been attached to a CPU PM domain.
 - Re-based on Linus' latest master.
