Certain SoCs like Texas Instruments AM335x and AM437x require parts
of the EMIF PM code to run late in the suspend sequence from SRAM,
such as saving and restoring the EMIF context and placing the memory
into self-refresh.

One requirement for these SoCs to suspend and enter its lowest power
mode, called DeepSleep0, is that the PER power domain must be shut off.
Because the EMIF (DDR Controller) resides within this power domain, it
will lose context during a suspend operation, so we must save it so we
can restore once we resume. However, we cannot execute this code from
external memory, as it is not available at this point, so the code must
be executed late in the suspend path from SRAM.

This patch introduces a ti-emif-sram driver that includes several
functions written in ARM ASM that are relocatable so the PM SRAM
code can use them. It also allocates a region of writable SRAM to
be used by the code running in the executable region of SRAM to save
and restore the EMIF context. It can export a table containing the
absolute addresses of the available PM functions so that other SRAM
code can branch to them. This code is required for suspend/resume on
AM335x and AM437x to work.

In addition to this, to be able to share data structures between C and
the ti-emif-sram-pm assembly code, we can automatically generate all of
the C struct member offsets and sizes as macros by making use of the ARM
asm-offsets file. In the same header that we define our data structures
in we also define all the macros in an inline function and by adding a
call to this in the asm_offsets file all macros are properly generated
and available to the assembly code without cluttering up the asm-offsets
file.

I will need RMKs blessing since he reviewed the ASM code.

Also need work out how to line this up. Typically I use to get
driver/memory patches via Greg's driver-core but this is more
PM code than memory driver and very SOC specific.

Hi Arnd/Olof,
Will you be ok to pull this via arm-soc ? There is also follow
up platform PM code and DTS series which will make use of this.

Looks like I missed to copy Olof. Let me know guys if you are
ok to pull this into your driver-soc given the dependencies.

Regards
Santosh
