Subject: [PATCH 00/12] misc: xilinx sd-fec driver

This patchset is adding the full Soft Decision Forward Error
Correction (SD-FEC) driver implementation, driver DT binding and
driver documentation.

Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes such as Low Density Parity
Check (LDPC) and turbo codes provide a means to control errors in
data transmissions over unreliable or noisy communication
channels. The SD-FEC Integrated Block is an optimized block for
soft-decision decoding of these codes. Fixed turbo codes are
supported directly, whereas custom and standardized LDPC codes
are supported through the ability to specify the parity check
matrix through an AXI4-Lite bus or using the optional programmable
(PL)-based support logic. For the further information see
https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ip_documentation/
sd_fec/v1_1/pg256-sdfec-integrated-block.pdf

This driver is a platform device driver which supports SDFEC16
(16nm) IP. SD-FEC driver supports LDPC decoding and encoding and
Turbo code decoding. LDPC codes can be specified on
a codeword-by-codeword basis, also a custom LDPC code can be used.

The SD-FEC driver exposes a char device interface and supports
file operations: open(), close(), poll() and ioctl(). The driver
allows only one usage of the device, open() limits the number of
driver instances. The driver also utilize Common Clock Framework
(CCF).

The control and monitoring is supported over ioctl system call.
The features supported by ioctl():
- enable or disable data pipes to/from device
- configure the FEC algorithm parameters
- set the order of data
- provide a control of a SDFEC bypass option
- activates/deactivates SD-FEC
- collect and provide statistical data
- enable/disable interrupt mode

Poll can be utilized to detect errors on IRQ trigger rather than
using looping status and stats ioctl's.
