[PATCH V7 1/9] drivers core: Add support for Wifi band RF mitigations

Due to electrical and mechanical constraints in certain platform designs
there may be likely interference of relatively high-powered harmonics of
the (G-)DDR memory clocks with local radio module frequency bands used
by Wifi 6/6e/7.

To mitigate this, AMD has introduced a mechanism that devices can use to
notify active use of particular frequencies so that other devices can make
relative internal adjustments as necessary to avoid this resonance.

In order for a device to support this, the expected flow for device
driver or subsystems:

Drivers/subsystems contributing frequencies:

1) During probe, check `wbrf_supported_producer` to see if WBRF supported
   for the device.
2) If adding frequencies, then call `wbrf_add_exclusion` with the
   start and end ranges of the frequencies.
3) If removing frequencies, then call `wbrf_remove_exclusion` with
   start and end ranges of the frequencies.

Drivers/subsystems responding to frequencies:

1) During probe, check `wbrf_supported_consumer` to see if WBRF is supported
   for the device.
2) Call the `wbrf_retrieve_exclusions` to retrieve the current
   exclusions on receiving an ACPI notification for a new frequency
   change.

v4->v5:
  - promote this to be a more generic solution with input argument taking
    `struct device` and provide better scalability to support non-ACPI
    scenarios(Andrew)
  - update the APIs naming and some other minor fixes(Rafael)
v6->v7:
  - revised the `struct wbrf_ranges_out` to be naturally aligned(Andrew)
  - revised some code comments(Andrew)
