platform/surface: aggregator: Use y instead of objs in Makefile
The 'objs' is for user space tools, for the kernel modules
we should use 'y'.

platform/surface: aggregator: Add dedicated bus and device type
The Surface Aggregator EC provides varying functionality, depending on
the Surface device. To manage this functionality, we use dedicated
client devices for each subsystem or virtual device of the EC. While
some of these clients are described as standard devices in ACPI and the
corresponding client drivers can be implemented as platform drivers in
the kernel (making use of the controller API already present), many
devices, especially on newer Surface models, cannot be found there.
To simplify management of these devices, we introduce a new bus and
client device type for the Surface Aggregator subsystem. The new device
type takes care of managing the controller reference, essentially
guaranteeing its validity for as long as the client device exists, thus
alleviating the need to manually establish device links for that purpose
in the client driver (as has to be done with the platform devices).

platform/surface: aggregator: Add trace points
Add trace points to the Surface Aggregator subsystem core. These trace
points can be used to track packets, requests, and allocations. They are
further intended for debugging and testing/validation, specifically in
combination with the error injection capabilities introduced in the
subsequent commit.

platform/surface: Add Surface Aggregator subsystem
Add Surface System Aggregator Module core and Surface Serial Hub driver,
required for the embedded controller found on Microsoft Surface devices.
The Surface System Aggregator Module (SSAM, SAM or Surface Aggregator)
is an embedded controller (EC) found on 4th and later generation
Microsoft Surface devices, with the exception of the Surface Go series.
This EC provides various functionality, depending on the device in
question. This can include battery status and thermal reporting (5th and
later generations), but also HID keyboard (6th+) and touchpad input
(7th+) on Surface Laptop and Surface Book 3 series devices.
This patch provides the basic necessities for communication with the SAM
EC on 5th and later generation devices. On these devices, the EC
provides an interface that acts as serial device, called the Surface
Serial Hub (SSH). 4th generation devices, on which the EC interface is
provided via an HID-over-I2C device, are not supported by this patch.
Specifically, this patch adds a driver for the SSH device (device HID
MSHW0084 in ACPI), as well as a controller structure and associated API.
This represents the functional core of the Surface Aggregator kernel
subsystem, introduced with this patch, and will be expanded upon in
subsequent commits.
The SSH driver acts as the main attachment point for this subsystem and
sets-up and manages the controller structure. The controller in turn
provides a basic communication interface, allowing to send requests from
host to EC and receiving the corresponding responses, as well as
managing and receiving events, sent from EC to host. It is structured
into multiple layers, with the top layer presenting the API used by
other kernel drivers and the lower layers modeled after the serial
protocol used for communication.
Said other drivers are then responsible for providing the (Surface model
specific) functionality accessible through the EC (e.g. battery status
reporting, thermal information, ...) via said controller structure and
API, and will be added in future commits.
