Previously the PCC driver depended on the client
side to map the communication space base address. This region
was was then used in the PCC driver and the client side.
The client side used this region to read and write its data
and the PCC driver used it to only write the PCC command.
Removing this split simplifies the PCC driver a lot. This patch
moves all communication region read/writes to the client side.
The PCC clients can now drive the PCC mailbox controller via the
mbox_client_txdone() method.

Gentle reminder for this patch specifically. It can be pulled in by
itself separately from the CPPC patch[2/2], which understandably may
need more time for review. Apart from the simplification done here,
there is one more change based on a comment I got from Rafael to
convert a pr_err() in the init function to pr_debug(). The "PCC Probe
failed" message seems to be raising false positives on X86 test
reports. Please let me know if there are any other suggestions, before
I respin another version for this.

Thanks,
Ashwin.

Thanks for that.

Is there a way to do that separately for each patch in a patchset?
Anyway, I'll rebase this patch to tip and send it separately To:
Jassi.

Thanks,
Ashwin.

Rebasing to tip and applying this patch didnt cause any merge
conflicts. So I think instead of generating more patch traffic just
yet, its probably better to review this as is. Let me know if anyone
thinks otherwise. I'll try to ping Jassi offline.

Thanks,
Ashwin.

This is the final one. The only change to this would be to make PCC
depend on CPPC. But that can be added along with the CPPC patch when
it is ready for upstreaming.

Thanks,
Ashwin.

As a heads up, Jassi had already picked up this patch in his tree:

https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/fujitsu/integration.git/shortlog/refs/heads/mailbox-devel
