[RESEND PATCH v3 0/6] Add support for QMC HDLC

[Herve Codina]

Hi,

Note: Resent this v3 series with missing maintainers added in CC.

This series introduces the QMC HDLC support.

Patches were previously sent as part of a full feature series and were
previously reviewed in that context:
"Add support for QMC HDLC, framer infrastructure and PEF2256 framer" [1]

In order to ease the merge, the full feature series has been split and
needed parts were merged in v6.8-rc1:
 - "Prepare the PowerQUICC QMC and TSA for the HDLC QMC driver" [2]
 - "Add support for framer infrastructure and PEF2256 framer" [3]

This series contains patches related to the QMC HDLC part (QMC HDLC
driver):
 - Introduce the QMC HDLC driver (patches 1 and 2)
 - Add timeslots change support in QMC HDLC (patch 3)
 - Add framer support as a framer consumer in QMC HDLC (patch 4)

Compare to the original full feature series, a modification was done on
patch 3 in order to use a coherent prefix in the commit title.

I kept the patches unsquashed as they were previously sent and reviewed.
Of course, I can squash them if needed.

Compared to the previous iteration:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240130084035.115086-1-herve.codina@xxxxxxxxxxx/
this v3 series:
- Remove 'inline' function specifier from .c file.
- Fixed a bug introduced in the previous iteration.
- Remove one lock/unlock sequence in the QMC HDCL xmit path.
- Use bitmap_from_u64().

Best regards,
Hervé

Changes v2 -> v3
  - Patch 1

    Remove a lock/unlock section locking the entire qmc_hdlc_xmit()
    function.

    bitmap_from_arr64().

Changes v1 -> v2
  - Patch 1
