Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Add support for new Mali GPUs

This patch series introduces some minor refactoring to enable support
for new Mali GPUs.

Key changes:
- Addition of cache maintenance via the FLUSH_CACHES GPU command for all
  supported GPUs in place of FLUSH_MEM and FLUSH_PT MMU_AS commands.
- Added SHAREABLE_CACHE support for GPUs from Mali-Gx20 onwards if
  coherency is enabled.
- Fixed minor issue with the setting of the coherency protocol.

Firmware for these GPUs can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/dliviu/linux-firmware

Patch Breakdown:
[PATCH 1]:   Adds panthor_hw and refactors gpu_info initialization into
             it, laying the foundation for subsequent changes.
[PATCH 2]:   Simplifies the method of determining the GPU model name
             while making it more extensible.
[PATCH 3]:   Adds support for Mali-G710, Mali-G510 and Mali-G310.
[PATCH 4]:   Adds support for Mali-Gx15 GPUs.
[PATCH 5]:   Adds cache maintenance via FLUSH_CACHES GPU command due to
             the deprecation of FLUSH_MEM and FLUSH_PT MMU_AS commands
             from Mali-Gx20 onwards. This feature is extended to all
             previous GPUs as this method of cache maintenance is
             already supported.
[PATCH 6]:   Adds support for Mali-Gx20 and Mali-Gx25 GPUs. This also
             adds SHAREABLE_CACHE support, in addition to fixing a minor
             issue with setting the coherency protocol.

v5:
- Removed all of the GPU-specific initialization boilerplate as it was
  not being used.
- Merged [PATCH 1/7] and [PATCH 2/7] into one.
- Fixed issue with getting model name before the gpu_info struct is
  populated.
- Merged AMBA_FEATURES and AMBA_ENABLE into GPU_COHERENCY_FEATURES and
  GPU_COHERENCY_PROTOCOL registers respectively. Reworked the fields of
  GPU_COHERENCY_FEATURES and added SHAREABLE_CACHE support.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250602143216.2621881-1-karunika.choo@arm.com/
v4:
- Split 64-bit register accessor patches into another patch series.
  - link: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20250417123725.2733201-1-karunika.choo@arm.com/
- Switched to using arch_major for comparison instead of arch_id in
  panthor_hw.c.
- Removed the gpu_info_init function pointer in favour of a single
  function to handle minor register changes. The function names have
  also been adjusted accordingly.
- Moved the patch to support Mali-G710, Mali-G510 and Mali-G310 forwards
  to [PATCH 4/7].
- Extended support to perform cache maintenance via GPU_CONTROL to
  Mali-Gx10 and Mali-Gx15 GPUs.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250320111741.1937892-1-karunika.choo@arm.com/
v3:
- Kindly ignore this patch series as there were duplicate patches being
  included.
v2:
- Removed handling for register base addresses as they are not yet
  needed.
- Merged gpu_info handling into panthor_hw.c as they depend on the same
  arch_id matching mechanism.
- Made gpu_info initialization a GPU-specific function.
- Removed unnecessary changes for cache maintenance via GPU_CONTROL.
- Removed unnecessary pre-parsing of register fields from v1. Retaining
  current implementation as much as possible.
- Added support for G710, G715, G720, and G725 series of Mali GPUs.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241219170521.64879-1-karunika.choo@arm.com/
