[PATCH v2 0/2] Add SMCCC cache clean/invalidate provider

[Srirangan Madhavan <smadhavan@nvidia.com>]

This series adds an arm64 backend for memregion cache invalidation users
based on the Arm SMCCC cache clean+invalidate interface.

Per DEN0028, this interface targets systems where a Normal Cacheable
memory region can be modified in ways that are not handled by usual PE
coherency mechanisms, and where VA-based CMOs may be too slow or
insufficient for large ranges and/or system-cache implementations.

Representative use cases include device-backed memory state transitions
where stale CPU/system cache lines must be invalidated reliably (for
example secure erase, reset/offline flows, and dynamic memory
reconfiguration).

Patch 1 introduces the Arm SMCCC cache clean/invalidate function IDs and
transient return codes needed by callers [1].

Patch 2 adds a cache maintenance provider that:
- discovers SMCCC support and attributes at init time
- registers with the generic cache coherency framework used by
  cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion()
- handles transient BUSY/RATE_LIMITED responses with bounded retries

This patch set does not add a software fallback path; when firmware does
not implement the SMCCC cache maintenance interface, the provider is not
registered and existing behavior is preserved.

Note: Jonathan Cameron raised whether DEN0028 v1.7 BET0 is sufficient
for merge. Input from Arm maintainers / SMCCC spec owners on that point
would be appreciated.

Changes since v1:
- Added Jonathan Cameron's Reviewed-by tags.
- Clarified the ARM_SMCCC_CACHE Kconfig help text.
- Added a Makefile comment identifying the providers that depend on
  CACHEMAINT_FOR_HOTPLUG.
- Dropped the final-backoff-sleep skip in the retry loop.

Changes since RFC:
- Dropped the RFC tag.
- Moved the provider from arch/arm64/mm to drivers/cache.
- Added a dedicated CONFIG_ARM_SMCCC_CACHE option under the existing
  CACHEMAINT_FOR_HOTPLUG menu.
- Dropped the global-operation coalescing optimization.
- Dropped provider handling for SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED.
- Removed the unnecessary global provider pointer.
- Removed arm64_ prefixes from static provider-local names.
- Documented why these SMCCC Arch cache maintenance calls use SMC64.
- Anchored the SMCCC return-code comment to DEN0028 v1.7.
- Used fsleep() for retry backoff.
- Used unsigned long for retry delay values passed to fsleep().
- Skipped the final backoff sleep when no retry remains.
- Documented the bounded mutex hold time across the serialized retry
  sequence.
- Added mutex_destroy() on the registration failure path.
