i.MX95 System Manager Firmware support vendor extension protocol:
- Battery Backed Module(BBM) Protocol
  This protocol is intended provide access to the battery-backed module.
  This contains persistent storage (GPR), an RTC, and the ON/OFF button.
  The protocol can also provide access to similar functions implemented via
  external board components. The BBM protocol provides functions to:

  - Describe the protocol version.
  - Discover implementation attributes.
  - Read/write GPR
  - Discover the RTCs available in the system.
  - Read/write the RTC time in seconds and ticks
  - Set an alarm (per LM) in seconds
  - Get notifications on RTC update, alarm, or rollover.
  - Get notification on ON/OFF button activity.

- MISC Protocol for misc settings
  This includes controls that are misc settings/actions that must be
  exposed from the SM to agents. They are device specific and are usually
  define to access bit fields in various mix block control modules,
  IOMUX_GPR, and other GPR/CSR owned by the SM.
  This protocol supports the following functions:

  - Describe the protocol version.
  - Discover implementation attributes.
  - Set/Get a control.
  - Initiate an action on a control.
  - Obtain platform (i.e. SM) build information.
  - Obtain ROM passover data.
  - Read boot/shutdown/reset information for the LM or the system.

This patchset is to support the two protocols and users that use the
protocols. The upper protocol infomation is also included in patch 1

I specifically asked you to avoid re-spinning just for this reason within
20 mins from your response, yet you managed to churn it within that time 🙁.
I must respond at flash speed to avoid such things in the future 😢.
