Changes in v3:
 - Fixed the order of set_opp/opp_put in patch [5/6]
 - Clearly specified MediaTek SoC models in patches [4/6], [6/6]
 - Reordered clk_disable() for suspend in patch [3/6]
 - Fixed blank line removal and alignment in patch [1/6]

Changes in v2:
 - Added hard reset GPU recovery
 - Tightened polling time for soft reset and power on
 - New execution time measurements after poweroff fix (see [1])

At least MediaTek platforms are able to get the GPU clocks and regulators
completely off during system suspend, allowing to save a bit of power.

Panfrost is used on more than just MediaTek SoCs and the benefits of this
can be variable across different SoC models and/or different SoCs from
different manufacturers: this means that just adding this ability for all
could result in unexpected issues and breakages on untested SoCs.

For the aforemenetioned reasons, turning off the clocks and/or regulators
was implemented inside of a capabilities barrier that shall be enabled on
a per-SoC basis (in the panfrost_compatible platform data) after testing
of both benefits and feasibility.

In this series, I am adding the ability to switch on/off clocks and
regulators and enabling that on all MediaTek platforms, as I was able
to successfully test that on multiple Chromebooks featuring different
MediaTek SoCs; specifically, I've manually tested on MT8186, MT8192 and
MT8195, while MT8183 got tested only by KernelCI.

Cheers!
