These scm calls are never used outside of legacy ARMv7 based platforms.
That's because PSCI, mandated on arm64, implements them for modern SoCs
via the PSCI spec. Let's move them to the legacy file and only compile
the legacy file into the kernel when CONFIG_ARM=y. Otherwise provide
stubs and fail the calls. This saves a little bit of space in an

Commit 9a434cee773a ("firmware: qcom_scm: Dynamically support SMCCC and
legacy conventions") didn't mention any motivating factors for keeping
the legacy code around on arm64 kernels, i.e. presumably that commit
wasn't trying to support these legacy APIs on arm64 kernels.

There are arm targets which support SMCCC convention and use some of these removed functions. Can these functions be kept in qcom-scm.c and wrapped with #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM)?
