The SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_x() macros are intended to reduce
boiler-plate code for SSAM request definitions by defining a wrapper
function for the specified request. The client device variants of those
macros, i.e. SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_x() in particular rely on the
multi-device (MD) variants, e.g.:
#define SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R(name, rtype, spec...) \
SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_R(__raw_##name, rtype, spec) \
int name(struct ssam_device *sdev, rtype *ret) \
{ \
return __raw_##name(sdev->ctrl, sdev->uid.target, \
sdev->uid.instance, ret); \
}
This now creates the problem that it is not possible to declare the
generated functions static via
static SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R(...)
as this will only apply to the function defined by the multi-device
macro, i.e. SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_R(). Thus compiling with
`-Wmissing-prototypes' rightfully complains that there is a 'static'
keyword missing.
To solve this, make all SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_x() macros define
static functions. Non-client-device macros are also changed for
consistency. In general, we expect those functions to be only used
locally in the respective drivers for the corresponding interfaces, so
having to define a wrapper function to be able to export this should be
the odd case out.

The Surface ACPI Notify (SAN) device provides an ACPI interface to the
Surface Aggregator EC, specifically the Surface Serial Hub interface.
This interface allows EC requests to be made from ACPI code and can
convert a subset of EC events back to ACPI notifications.
Specifically, this interface provides a GenericSerialBus operation
region ACPI code can execute a request by writing the request command
data and payload to this operation region and reading back the
corresponding response via a write-then-read operation. Furthermore,
this interface provides a _DSM method to be called when certain events
from the EC have been received, essentially turning them into ACPI
notifications.
The driver provided in this commit essentially takes care of translating
the request data written to the operation region, executing the request,
waiting for it to finish, and finally writing and translating back the
response (if the request has one). Furthermore, this driver takes care
of enabling the events handled via ACPI _DSM calls. Lastly, this driver
also exposes an interface providing discrete GPU (dGPU) power-on
notifications on the Surface Book 2, which are also received via the
operation region interface (but not handled by the SAN driver directly),
making them accessible to other drivers (such as a dGPU hot-plug driver
that may be added later on).
On 5th and 6th generation Surface devices (Surface Pro 5/2017, Pro 6,
Book 2, Laptop 1 and 2), the SAN interface provides full battery and
thermal subsystem access, as well as other EC based functionality. On
those models, battery and thermal sensor devices are implemented as
standard ACPI devices of that type, however, forward ACPI calls to the
corresponding Surface Aggregator EC request via the SAN interface and
receive corresponding notifications (e.g. battery information change)
from it. This interface is therefore required to provide said
functionality on those devices.

Add a misc-device providing user-space access to the Surface Aggregator
EC, mainly intended for debugging, testing, and reverse-engineering.
This interface gives user-space applications the ability to send
requests to the EC and receive the corresponding responses.
The device-file is managed by a pseudo platform-device and corresponding
driver to avoid dependence on the dedicated bus, allowing it to be
loaded in a minimal configuration.
A python library and scripts to access this device can be found at [1].

Add documentation for the Surface Aggregator subsystem and its client
drivers, giving an overview of the subsystem, its use-cases, its
internal structure and internal API, as well as its external API for
writing client drivers.
