Cover letter [PATCH v10 00/24] Linux SBI MPXY and RPMI drivers

The SBI v3.0 (MPXY extension) [1] and RPMI v1.0 [2] specifications are ratified by the RISC-V International.

Currently, most of the RPMI and MPXY drivers are in OpenSBI whereas Linux only has SBI MPXY mailbox controller driver, RPMI clock driver and RPMI system MSI driver This series also includes ACPI support for SBI MPXY mailbox controller and RPMI system MSI drivers.

These patches can be found in the riscv_sbi_mpxy_mailbox_v10 branch
at: https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git

To test these patches, boot Linux on "virt,rpmi=on,aia=aplic-imsic" machine with OpenSBI and QEMU from the dev-upstream branch at:
https://github.com/ventanamicro/opensbi.git
https://github.com/ventanamicro/qemu.git
