This patchset aims to support the legacy SCPI firmware implementation that was
delivered as early technology preview for the JUNO platform.

Finally a stable, maintained and public implementation for the SCPI protocol
has been upstreamed part of the JUNO support and it is the recommended way
of implementing SCP communication on ARMv8 platforms.

The Amlogic GXBB platform is using this legacy protocol, as the RK3368 & RK3399
platforms. This patchset will only add support for Amlogic GXBB SoC.

This patchset add support for the legacy protocol in the arm_scpi.c file,
avoiding code duplication.

This patchset is rebased against scpi-updates/for-next from [2] and with
already merged patches [3], [4] and [5] and ommited in this patchset.

Nice to see this diff stat from a whole new file legacy_scpi.c and 1000+
delta. Thanks for working on this. I have applied the first 3 patches in
this series with some subject/commit message changes to [1].

I assume the DT changes needs to go via the corresponding platform
maintainer.
