356d5d28f2 Mailbox: Fix return value check in pcc_init()
In case of error, the function platform_create_bundle() returns
ERR_PTR() and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value
check should be replaced with IS_ERR().

efd756daf4 ACPI / PCC: Use pr_debug() for debug messages in pcc_init()
pcc_init() uses pr_err() to print two messages that are really debug
and not interesting to users.  Replace those pr_err() with pr_debug().

86c22f8c9a Mailbox: Add support for Platform Communication Channel
ACPI 5.0+ spec defines a generic mode of communication
between the OS and a platform such as the BMC. This medium
(PCC) is typically used by CPPC (ACPI CPU Performance management),
RAS (ACPI reliability protocol) and MPST (ACPI Memory power
states).

This patch adds PCC support as a Mailbox Controller. As of
ACPI v5.1 there is no provision for clients to lookup mailbox
controllers in a way that Linux expects. e.g. in DT the clients
can list the mailboxes they can associate with in the DT binding
and then provide a unique index to lookup a channel within a mailbox.
Since the ACPI spec doesn't have anything similar, we introduce a
mailbox controller specific API so that when the client calls it,
we know to lookup in the context of a specific controller. This
also helps in keeping a consistent interface across DT and ACPI
for such drivers.

This patch implements basic PCC support using the ACPI v5.1
structures. IRQ mode support will be provided as follow up patches.
