Based on Section 14.1 of ACPI specification, it is possible to have a
maximum of 256 PCC subspace ids. Add support of multiple PCC subspace id
instead of using a single global pcc_data structure.

While at that fix the time_delta check in send_pcc_cmd() so that last_mpar_reset
and mpar_count is initialized properly. Also maintain a global total_mpar_count
which is a sum of per subspace id mpar value.

Could you please provide clarification on why sum of total_mpar_count is
required? Do you assume that there always will be only one single firmware CPU
that handles PCC commands on another side?

Yes you are right the total_mpar_count should be removed and should be handled per subspace id. Moreover the current logic of not sending the command to PCC and returning with -EIO is also flawed. It should actually have a retry mechanism instead of returning -EIO even without submitting the request to the channel.

Theoretically different PCC channels can be connected to different platform CPUs
on other end (imagine NUMA systems in case of CPPC) so it's not clear why transport
layer of PCC should use that global count. Also, ACPI spec 6.1 (page 701) in
in description of MPAR states "The maximum number of periodic requests that the subspace
channel can support".

I don't like the direction of where it's going.

To send commands through PCC channel you don't need to know CPU number.
Ideally, send_pcc_cmd() shouldn't care a lot about software entity that uses
it (CPPC, RASF, MPST, etc) and passing some CPU number to this function you
bind it to CPPC interfaces while it shouldn't depend on it.
Maybe you can pass subspace it here instead.
Actually if you look inside send_pcc_cmd it does a mapping of cpu to subspace id. To avoid confusion it is better to pass the subspace id to this function than the cpu number.

BTW, is it possible to make separate mailbox PCC client and move it out from
CPPC code?

Why do you think it is necessary? Currently CPPC driver itself is the client for mailbox/pcc driver.
