drm/panthor: Add AM_RESOURCE_GROUP support

This commit adds resource-group support to the Panthor arbitration driver,
including MMIO and IRQ setup, per-access-window message handling, handshake
negotiation, and runtime PM callbacks.

[Severity: Medium]
Can writing AM_RG_IRQ_CLEAR after the loop in rg_irq_raw_handler() and
rg_drain_pending_messages() clear a follow-up access-window interrupt
before its message is read?

When rg_handle_message() processes an unacknowledged VM_ARB_INIT from an
access window, rg_respond_to_handshake() immediately sends ARB_VM_INIT back
to that access window before the loop finishes and writes AM_RG_IRQ_CLEAR:

CPU0 (resource group)             CPU1 / VM (access window aw_id)
rg_irq_raw_handler()
  status =3D gpu_read(AM_RG_IRQ_STATUS)
  panthor_am_msg_read()
  rg_handle_message()
    rg_respond_to_handshake()
      rg_send_init_msg(ARB_VM_INIT)
                                  receives ARB_VM_INIT
                                  sends VM_ARB_GPU_REQUEST
                                  (asserts BIT(aw_id) in AM_RG_IRQ_RAWSTAT)
  gpu_write(AM_RG_IRQ_CLEAR, status)
    <-- clears BIT(aw_id) without reading VM_ARB_GPU_REQUEST

If the hardware also keeps the sender's AM_OUTGOING_MESSAGE_STATUS busy
until AM_RG_IRQ_CLEAR is written, delaying the clear until after
rg_handle_message() leaves the access window's outgoing slot busy while it
handles the reply.  In either case, a missed VM_ARB_GPU_REQUEST or
VM_ARB_GPU_STOPPED stalls GPU access acquisition or partition scheduling
until the request timeout expires.

Clearing BIT(aw_id) in AM_RG_IRQ_CLEAR right after panthor_am_msg_read()
and before rg_handle_message() would avoid this race.
