MHI specification shows a state machine with support for STOP channel command and the validity of certain state transitions. MHI host currently does not provide any mechanism to stop a channel and restart it without resetting it. There are also times when the device moves on to a different execution environment while client drivers on the host are unaware of it and still attempt to reset the channels facing unnecessary timeouts. This series addresses the above areas to provide support for stopping an MHI channel, resuming it back, improved documentation and improving upon channel state machine handling in general. This set of patches was tested on arm64 architecture. v2: -Renamed the newly introduced APIs to mhi_start_transfer() / mhi_stop_transfer() -Added improved documentation to avoid confusion with the new APIs -Removed the __ prefix from mhi_unprepare_channel() API for consistency.
