Subject: [PATCH 00/20] Add initial support for MHI endpoint stack

Hello,

This series adds initial support for the Qualcomm specific Modem Host Interface
(MHI) bus in endpoint devices like SDX55 modems. The MHI bus in endpoint devices
communicates with the MHI bus in host machines like x86 over any physical bus
like PCIe for data connectivity. The MHI host support is already in mainline [1]
and been used by PCIe based modems and WLAN devices running vendor code
(downstream).

Overview
========

This series aims at adding the MHI support in the endpoint devices with the goal
of getting data connectivity using the mainline kernel running on the modems.
Modems here refer to the combination of an APPS processor (Cortex A grade) and
a baseband processor (DSP). The MHI bus is located in the APPS processor and it
transfers data packets from the baseband processor to the host machine.

The MHI Endpoint (MHI EP) stack proposed here is inspired by the downstream
code written by Qualcomm. But the complete stack is mostly re-written to adapt
to the "bus" framework and made it modular so that it can work with the upstream
subsystems like "PCI Endpoint". The code structure of the MHI endpoint stack
follows the MHI host stack to maintain uniformity.

With this initial MHI EP stack (along with few other drivers), we can establish
the network interface between host and endpoint over the MHI software channels
(IP_SW0) and can do things like IP forwarding, SSH, etc...

Stack Organization
==================

The MHI EP stack has the concept of controller and device drivers as like the
MHI host stack. The MHI EP controller driver can be a PCI Endpoint Function
driver and the MHI device driver can be a MHI EP Networking driver or QRTR
driver. The MHI EP controller driver is tied to the PCI Endpoint subsystem and
handles all bus related activities like mapping the host memory, raising IRQ,
passing link specific events etc... The MHI EP networking driver is tied to the
Networking stack and handles all networking related activities like
sending/receiving the SKBs from netdev, statistics collection etc...

This series only contains the MHI EP code, whereas the PCIe EPF driver and MHI
EP Networking drivers are not yet submitted and can be found here [2]. Though
the MHI EP stack doesn't have the build time dependency, it cannot function
without them.

Test setup
==========

This series has been tested on Telit FN980 TLB board powered by Qualcomm SDX55
(a.k.a X55 modem) interfaced to the 96Boards Poplar board (ARM64 host) over
PCIe.

Limitations
===========

We are not _yet_ there to get the data packets from the modem as that involves
the Qualcomm IP Accelerator (IPA) integration with MHI endpoint stack. But we
are planning to add support for it in the coming days.
