[RFC PATCH 0/2] drm/panthor: initial mt8196 support

MediaTek MT8196 has Mali-G925-Immortalis, for which panthor gained
support recently. But the soc also requires custom ASN hash to be
enabled. This series introduces panthor_soc_data for per-soc data and
uses it to enable custom ASN hash on MT8196.

The clk/regulator provider on MT8196 is GPUEB, whose driver[1] needs to
be cleaned up and upstreamed separately.

This initial support also lacks support for some hw configs. On some
configs, panthor is expected to query a mask from efuse to mask out
unavailable shader cores from ptdev->gpu_info.shader_present. This
requires extending panthor_soc_data with a callback to read the mask.

This is an RFC because the dependent drivers are not ready yet. But I
would like to gather opinions on having panthor_soc_data for
soc-specific data and having CONFIG_DRM_PANTHOR_SOC_MT8196 for
soc-specific code.
