Take two of a mechanism by which each DCP can safely expose all of its scanout surfaces for compositors/clients to do with as they please.

Tested on t6000, t6021, t8112, t8103.

Certain Broadcom bluetooth chips (bcm4377/bcm4378/bcm438) need ACL
streams carrying audio to be set as "high priority" using a vendor
specific command to prevent 10-ish second-long dropouts whenever
something does a device scan. This patch sends the command when the
socket priority is set to TC_PRIO_INTERACTIVE, as BlueZ does for audio.

From experimenting with the hardware - this command is not suitable for
per-skb priority switching, as prioritization is done on the handle
level, with this command reconfiguring certain radio timings, and
dropping to low priority in order to send a low packet on the same
handle as an audio stream is being played on causes the same kind of
dropout it is supposed to avoid. In addition, the hardware is rather
picky about when this command can be sent, as sending it during
connection open results in a timeout. The vendor stacks solve it by
having high-level visibility into what a connection is used for and
sending it from userspace when it is known that an audio stream is
about to start. As we can't have that visibility without introducing a
new ioctl, the socket priority is used as proxy.

The current approach of silently disabling all rust drivers if the
toolchain is missing results in users that try to compile their own
kernels getting a "successful" build and then being confused about where
did their drivers go. In comparison, missing openssl results in a build
failure, not a disappearance of everything that depends on it.

This also means that allyesconfig will depend on rust, but since the
rust experiment concluded with "rust is here to stay", i believe that
allyesconfig should be building rust drivers too.

Apple M3 Pro and Max devices are using 'gp00' keys for GPIO in addition
to 'gP00' keys. Add a second compatible to handle this keys with an
additional macsmc-gpio instance.

Add support for SMC GPIO keys with a lower letter 'p' via the
"apple,smc-low-gpio" compatible. This adds support for a second
macsmc-gpio controller using 'gp00' keys.
These keys are used on Apple M3 Pro and Max MacBooks in the controller
for keyboard and trackpad and for the built-in DisplayPort to HDMI
converter.

The internal keyboard and trackpad HID on MacBook variants
of the Apple M3 (t8122) SoC are connected through a Apple
-developed protocol called DockChannel and mediated by a
coprocessor known as the Multi-Touch Processor (MTP).

This commit adds the nessecary device tree nodes to the
M3's device tree for internal HID to work. It is disabled
by default, to be enabled only in MacBook board files
where it is tested and confirmed to work.

DCP is an interesting little bit of hardware. Each variant has quite
different scanout capabilities, including which hardware planes are
actually present. The firmware interface will always accept four
IOSurface structs, however the hardware will fail in weird and
wonderful ways if the firmware then tries to program the corresponding
scanout planes when they do not actually work. We need a way to
declare to KMS which hardware planes actually work on which SoCs.

Add a Devicetree property which represents a bitmask of the working
hardware planes (relative to the four possible IOSurfaces), and
use this to decide which KMS planes get created at driver init. Since
we now guarantee that every instantiated plane corresponds to a valid
hardware surface, we can remove some superfluous sanity checks in
crtc_atomic_check too.

Now that we can safely declare the working hardware surfaces on
each SoC, let the driver test all possible positions for a working
surface.
