[PATCH v7 08/16] firmware: arm_scmi: Add sync_cmds_atomic_replies transport flag

Cristian Marussi
2021-11-29T19:16:38Z

Add a flag to let the transport signal to the core if its handling of sync
command implies that, after .send_message has returned successfully, the
requested command can be assumed to be fully and completely executed on
SCMI platform side so that any possible response value is already
immediately available to be retrieved by a .fetch_response: in other words
the polling phase can be skipped in such a case and the response values
accessed straight away.

Note that all of the above applies only when polling mode of operation was
selected by the core: if instead a completion IRQ was found to be available
the normal response processing path based on completions will still be
followed.

---
v5 --> v6
- added polling_capable helper flag
v4 --> v5
- removed RFC tag
- consider sync_cmds_atomic_replies flag when deciding if polling is to be
supported and .poll_done() is not provided.
- reviewed commit message
