From: "Johnny.Fan" <Johnny.Fan@cixtech.com>
Synthetic platform devices created from ACPI data have no fwnode, so
platform_get_irq_affinity() cannot tell which CPUs implement the
feature and falls back to cpu_possible_mask.
Add an optional CPU mask to the platform data and make both the SPE and
the TRBE drivers prefer it over the firmware-described IRQ affinity.
Device tree devices have no platform data and keep using the affinity.
TRBE must also pass a stable copy of the mask to
request_percpu_irq_affinity(), because supported_cpus is pruned as CPUs
are probed, while the IRQ action keeps a pointer to the mask.
This is a preparatory change: no ACPI device carries platform data yet,
so behaviour is unchanged.

From: "Johnny.Fan" <Johnny.Fan@cixtech.com>
On heterogeneous ACPI systems, not all CPUs implement SPE or TRBE, and
the ones that do may use different PPIs. The MADT describes this per
GICC entry: a CPU without the feature reports a zero overflow
interrupt, and the PPTT hetero id identifies CPUs of the same
implementation.
The current code registers a single platform device and gives up if the
GICC entries disagree on the hetero id or on the interrupt, so the
feature is unavailable on such systems even though the firmware
describes it.
Group the CPUs by (hetero id, interrupt) and register one platform
device per group. A GSI may be shared between groups with
non-overlapping CPU masks, so only unregister the GSI mapping once no
successfully registered device uses it, as the mapping is not reference
counted.
Entries too short to contain the field mean that the firmware does not
describe the feature, which is what pre-ACPI 6.3 (SPE) and pre-ACPI 6.5
(TRBE) tables look like. If only some entries carry the field, the MADT
is inconsistent: warn and create no device at all.
Pass the CPU mask to the driver as platform data, as added by the
previous patch.
Tested on a CIX sky1 SoC with heterogeneous SPE support.
