Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/11] firmware: arm_scmi: Add notifications anti-tampering

Add a simple mechanism to avoid the fact that with standard Kernel
notification chains a notifier callback, registered by a user, can
potentially stop further processing for the notification chain itself,
or mangle the *data content callback parameter along the way.

A simple notifier_block wrapper layer is introduced in order to limit the
above described tampering capabilities.

Signed-off-by: Cristian Marussi <cristian.marussi@....com>

This patch can be simply dropped from the series if the anti-tampering
mechanism itself is not deemed worth the effort
