[RFC] Mediatek SCPSYS power domain support

s series adds support for the MediaTek SCPSYS unit.

The SCPSYS unit handles several power management related tasks such
as thermal measurement, DVFS, interrupt filter and low level sleep
control.

The initial support only contains the generic power domain handling.
This is needed to turn on power to the different power domains.

The driver is quite straight forward now. Due to the lack of a better
place I have put it to drivers/soc/mediatek. As the SCPSYS unit has
several other tasks that also do not fit into some specific subsystem
this probably is a good place for this driver.

What is not clear to me is how the Kconfig dependencies should be
handled. Some domains are disabled by bootloader default, so without
this driver for example sound won't work. So should PM, PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS
and this driver be made mandatory for MT8173? Or should this driver
when PM is disabled be compiled as a stub which only enables all
domains? I don't have a good idea how things should work out here.

IMO, a stub that enables all the domains is what you want.
