Manivannan Sadhasivam d434743e5c bus: mhi: ep: Add support for registering MHI endpoint controllers
This commit adds support for registering MHI endpoint controller drivers
with the MHI endpoint stack. MHI endpoint controller drivers manage
the interaction with the host machines (such as x86). They are also the
MHI endpoint bus master in charge of managing the physical link between
the host and endpoint device. Eventhough the MHI spec is bus agnostic,
the current implementation is entirely based on PCIe bus.

The endpoint controller driver encloses all information about the
underlying physical bus like PCIe. The registration process involves
parsing the channel configuration and allocating an MHI EP device.

Channels used in the endpoint stack follows the perspective of the MHI
host stack. i.e.,

UL - From host to endpoint
DL - From endpoint to host

tristate "Modem Host Interface (MHI) bus Endpoint implementation"
help
Bus driver for MHI protocol. Modem Host Interface (MHI) is a
communication protocol used by a host processor to control
and communicate a modem device over a high speed peripheral
bus or shared memory.
MHI_BUS_EP implements the MHI protocol for the endpoint devices,
such as SDX55 modem connected to the host machine over PCIe.
