Following our discussion on IRC,
I'm working on a CEC driver for the standalone Amlogic CEC Controller that is able
to wake up the device from Suspend or Power Off mode by passing infos to the FW.

I initially planned to use the DW-HDMI CEC controller but I recently found out that
on the Amlogic Meson GX SoCs, the CEC line can be pinmuxed to either an Amlogic custom
controller or either to a Synopsys IP.

But it's connected to the Synopsys HDMI-RX controller... so my plan to use Russell's code
is now dead.

Anyway, I'll still need to have the CEC notifier suport for DW-HDMI, so I made a rebase/cleanup
of Russell's driver on 4.12-rc3 :
https://github.com/superna9999/linux/commits/amlogic/v4.12/rmk-dw-hdmi-cec
The rebase is aligned on dw-hdmi-i2s to use the bridge read/write ops.
