Current implementation of i.MX8QM power management related
features does NOT optimize power number, all system resources
like CCI, DDR, and A cluster etc. are kept in STBY mode (powered
ON) when system suspend or CPU hotplug.

To lower the power number, OFF mode should be adopted for those
system resources whenever they can be OFF, A cluster will be OFF
if the CPUs in the cluster are all off line, DDR/MU/DB can be OFF
if system suspend, IRQ steer can be OFF if the wakeup source is
belonged to system controller partition, so wakeup source runtime
check is used to determine if IRQ steer can be OFF before system
suspend.

If resources are powered off for suspend, they should be restored
properly after system resume.

The codebase was using non-standard headers. It is needed to replace
them by the correct ones so that we can use the new libc headers.

NXP's i.MX8 SoCs have system controller (M4 core)
which takes control of clock management, power management,
partition management, PAD management etc., other
clusters like Cortex-A35 can send out command via MU
(Message Unit) to system controller for clock/power
management etc..

This patch adds basic IPC(inter-processor communication) support.
