PATCH v2 1/1 MHI event ring priority updates

Event ring priorities have remained out of use and are set to 1 by default. This series brings about an enum entry expanding use of the priority field by adding high priority tasklet scheduling to the menu.

In some cases, tasklet scheduling delays can be a nuisance. An example would be ath11k adding a610f3c65d3b ("bus: mhi: Wait for M2 state during system resume") in response to it. This issue can be potentially avoided if the controller uses a dedicated event ring for control packets with high priority tasklet scheduling in place.

There are no functional changes added to the controller (pci_generic or ath11k) drivers with this series and the only changes there are use of the enum in place of a harcoded value of "1". In the future, controllers can opt in to have any event ring scheduled in high priority.

Tested on: X86_64 architecture with SDX65 on Ubuntu 18.04 distribution.

v2:
-Remove enum and update kernel doc for priority simplifying the implementation -Drop patches for controller changes as they become unnecessary -Merge adding and enabling of support patches

PATCH v2 1/1 bus: mhi: core: Add support for processing priority of event ring

From: Hemant Kumar <[email protected]>

Event ring priorities are currently set to 1 and are unused. Default processing priority for event rings is set to regular tasklet. Controllers can choose to use high priority tasklet scheduling for certain event rings critical for processing such as ones transporting control information if they wish to avoid system scheduling delays for those packets. In order to support these use cases, allow controllers to set event ring priority to high.
