Subject: [PATCH] firmware: stratix10-svc: Add Multi SVC clients support

In the current implementation, SVC client drivers such as socfpga-hwmon, intel_fcs, stratix10-soc, stratix10-rsu each send an SMC command that triggers a single thread in the stratix10-svc driver. Upon receiving a callback, the initiating client driver sends a stratix10-svc-done signal, terminating the thread without waiting for other pending SMC commands to complete. This leads to a timeout issue in the firmware SVC mailbox service when multiple client drivers send SMC commands concurrently.

To resolve this issue, a dedicated thread is now created per channel. The stratix10-svc driver will support up to the number of channels defined by SVC_NUM_CHANNEL. Thread synchronization is handled using a mutex to prevent simultaneous issuance of SMC commands by multiple threads.

SVC_NUM_DATA_IN_FIFO is reduced from 32 to 8, since each channel now has its own dedicated FIFO and the SDM processes commands one at a time. 8 entries per channel is sufficient while keeping the total aggregate capacity the same (4 channels x 8 = 32 entries).

Additionally, a thread task is now validated before invoking kthread_stop when the user aborts, ensuring safe termination.

Timeout values have also been adjusted to accommodate the increased load from concurrent client driver activity.
