Uncore perfmon appears to the CPU as a set of uncore perfmon registers
which can be read and written using the ARI interface. The MCE code
sequence handles reads and writes to these registers by manipulating
the underlying T186 uncore hardware.

To access an uncore perfmon register, CPU software writes the ARI
request registers to specify

* whether the operation is a read or a write,
* which uncore perfmon register to access,
* the uncore perfmon unit, group, and counter number (if necessary),
* the data to write (if the operation is a write).

It then initiates an ARI request to run the uncore perfmon sequence in
the MCE and reads the resulting value of the uncore perfmon register
and any status information from the ARI response registers.

The NS world's MCE driver issues MCE_CMD_UNCORE_PERFMON_REQ command
for the EL3 layer to start the entire sequence. Once the request
completes, the NS world would receive the command status in the X0
register and the command data in the X1 register.

This patch adds a helper function to the MCE driver to allow its
clients to issue UPDATE_CSTATE_INFO requests, without having to
setup the CPU context struct.

We introduced a struct to encapsulate the request parameters, that
clients can pass on to the MCE driver. The MCE driver gets the
parameters from the struct and programs the hardware accordingly.

This patch checks that the system is running with the supported MCE
firmware during boot. In case the firmware version does not match the
interface header version, then the system halts.

This patch adds a new interface to allow for making an ARI call that
will enable LATIC for the chip verification software harness.

LATIC allows some MINI ISMs to be read in the CCPLEX. The ISMs are
used for various measurements relevant ot particular locations in
Silicon. They are small counters which can be polled to determine
how fast a particular location in the Silicon is.

The CPU Complex (CCPLEX) Power Manager (Denver MCE, or DMCE) is an
offload engine for BPMP to do voltage related sequencing and for
hardware requests to be handled in a better latency than BPMP-firmware.

There are two interfaces to the MCEs - Abstract Request Interface (ARI)
and the traditional NVGINDEX/NVGDATA interface.

MCE supports various commands which can be used by CPUs - ARM as well
as Denver, for power management and reset functionality. Since the
linux kernel is the master for all these scenarios, each MCE command
can be issued by a corresponding SMC. These SMCs have been moved to
SiP SMC space as they are specific to the Tegra186 SoC.
