ipmi: fix potential deadlock on &kcs_bmc->lock

As kcs_bmc_handle_event() is executed inside both a timer and a hardirq,
it should disable irq before lock acquisition otherwise deadlock could
happen if the timmer is preemtped by the irq.

Possible deadlock scenario:
aspeed_kcs_check_obe() (timer)
-> kcs_bmc_handle_event()
-> spin_lock(&kcs_bmc->lock)
<irq interruption>
-> aspeed_kcs_irq()
-> kcs_bmc_handle_event()
-> spin_lock(&kcs_bmc->lock) (deadlock here)

This flaw was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are
developing for irq-related deadlock.

The tentative patch fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave()

ipmi: kcs_bmc: Allow clients to control KCS IRQ state

Add a mechanism for controlling whether the client associated with a
KCS device will receive Input Buffer Full (IBF) and Output Buffer Empty
(OBE) events. This enables an abstract implementation of poll() for KCS
devices.

A wart in the implementation is that the ASPEED KCS devices don't
support an OBE interrupt for the BMC. Instead we pretend it has one by
polling the status register waiting for the Output Buffer Full (OBF) bit
to clear, and generating an event when OBE is observed.

Now that we have untangled the data-structures, split the userspace

ipmi: kcs_bmc: Strip private client data from struct kcs_bmc

Move all client-private data out of `struct kcs_bmc` into the KCS client
implementation.

With this change the KCS BMC core code now only concerns itself with
abstract `struct kcs_bmc` and `struct kcs_bmc_client` types, achieving
expected separation of concerns. Further, the change clears the path for
implementation of alternative userspace interfaces.

The chardev data-structures are rearranged in the same manner applied to
the KCS device driver data-structures in an earlier patch - `struct
kcs_bmc_client` is embedded in the client's private data and we exploit
container_of() to translate as required.

Finally, now that it is free of client data, `struct kcs_bmc` is renamed
to `struct kcs_bmc_device` to contrast `struct kcs_bmc_client`.

ipmi: kcs_bmc: Split headers into device and client

Strengthen the distinction between code that abstracts the

ipmi: kcs_bmc: Turn the driver data-structures inside-out

Make the KCS device drivers responsible for allocating their own memory.

Until now the private data for the device driver was allocated internal
to the private data for the chardev interface. This coupling required
the slightly awkward API of passing through the struct size for the
driver private data to the chardev constructor, and then retrieving a
pointer to the driver private data from the allocated chardev memory.

In addition to being awkward, the arrangement prevents the
implementation of alternative userspace interfaces as the device driver
private data is not independent.

Peel a layer off the onion and turn the data-structures inside out by
exploiting container_of() and embedding `struct kcs_device` in the
driver private data.

ipmi: kcs_bmc: Split out kcs_bmc_cdev_ipmi

Take steps towards defining a coherent API to separate the KCS device
drivers from the userspace interface. Decreasing the coupling will
improve the separation of concerns and enable the introduction of
alternative userspace interfaces.

For now, simply split the chardev logic out to a separate file. The code
continues to build into the same module.

ipmi: kcs_bmc: fix IRQ exception if the channel is not open

When kcs_bmc_handle_event calls kcs_force_abort function to handle the
not open (no user running) KCS channel transaction, the returned status
value -ENODEV causes the low level IRQ handler indicating that the irq
was not for him by returning IRQ_NONE. After some time, this IRQ will
be treated to be spurious one, and the exception dump happens.

Disabling IRQ #30

It needs to change the returned status from -ENODEV to 0. The -ENODEV
was originally used to tell the low level IRQ handler that no user was
running, but not consider the IRQ handling desgin.

And multiple KCS channels share one IRQ handler, it needs to check the
IBF flag before doing force abort. If the IBF is set, after handling,
return 0 to low level IRQ handler to indicate that the IRQ is handled.
