This series implements OpenCAPI support for P9.

The series is divided as follows:

 - Patches 1-3: general refactoring

   Add various structs and fields we'll need later.

 - Patch 4: setting up the NPU

   At present, we're doing NPU configuration separately from the existing
   NVLink code. At a later point, we intend to rework this to make it
   possible to support both NVLink and OpenCAPI links on the same NPU.

 - Patches 5-6: training links and creating OpenCAPI PHBs

   Unlike NVLink, which presents a single PHB to represent the entire NPU,
   we present a single PHB per device/link. This is necessary due to
   limitations in MMIO window allocation. Unfortunately this makes the
   structures we share with NVLink a little more complex, oh well.

 - Patch 7: OPAL API calls

   We define three new API calls for handling the Shared Process Area and
   setting OpenCAPI TL template capabilities.

 - Patch 8: platform support

   See below.

 - Patches 9-10: device tree documentation

Notable limitations:

 - We only support the zaius platform for now. We'll be adding ZZ after a bit
   more testing booting ZZs with hostboot rather than BML. Witherspoon
   support will come at a later point (our testing shows it's mostly
   working now!)

 - No mixing of OpenCAPI and NVLink devices on the same NPU. This will come in a
   later series. The only platform this currently impacts is Witherspoon.

 - No support for link ganging - there are also no OpenCAPI devices that support
   link ganging yet, so this will come when we get to it...

 - Link information is hardcoded per platform, and we don't have any form of
   presence detection apart from failing to train the link. Eventually, this
   will be detected via I2C once Hostboot adds the relevant link info to HDAT.

 - No LPC memory - this will come in a later patch once we've done a bit more
   testing internally.

 - No link reset functionality - this will come in a later patch.

This series has been tested on a Zaius. I've also tested it on a
GPU-equipped Witherspoon to ensure it doesn't break NVLink.

Thanks to everyone who's helped us with this, especially to Alistair Popple for
his advice on NVLink, and to the OpenCAPI hardware teams in Austin and
Rochester who provided us with a lot of vital assistance.

Comments welcome!

v1->v2:

  - Address various comments from Fred

v2->v3:

  - Address minor comments from Fred
  - Silence ioda_reset warning in Linux
  - Fix PHB device tree issues
  - Mask FIRs to correctly handle Datalink Layer Stall and NoStall signals
    (Fred)
  - Add device tree binding information
  - Reverse order of lane masks, per Alistair's patch at
    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/865155/

v3->v4:

  - Address comments from Fred and Alistair

v4->v5:

  - I accidentally a --- line in patch 5, whoops

v5->v6:

  - Reduce link training retries
  - Fix brick<->ODL mapping on OBUS3 (only relevant to witherspoon)
  - Skip unnecessary phy training subprocedure that triggers FIR bit
  - Add some comments

v6->v7:

  - Remove the p9-adu code to set PowerBus hotplug mode register.
    Following clarification with hardware team, we believe this is all
    correctly set up for us in Hostboot.
  - Add some debug options (in NVRAM) for link training
  - Use ibm,link-speed property in device tree to determine PHY speed
    select field
  - Disable fast reboot - it almost certainly won't work right now...

v7->v8:

  - Improve device tree documentation
  - Remove a stray #include
