Subject: [PATCH v5 14/14] firmware: arm_scmi: Add Raw mode coexistence support

When Raw support is enabled and configured in coexistence mode the normal
SCMI drivers are allowed to register with the SCMI core and operate as
usual alongside the Raw operations.

SCMI Normal and Raw messages will be kept segregated from each other, but
only at the transaction level: any further possible interference at the
protocol layer will have instead to be handled by the user to attain
reliable results while using Raw transactions.
