platform/surface: aggregator-cdev: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

platform/surface: aggregator: Rename top-level request functions to avoid ambiguities

We currently have a struct ssam_request_sync and a function
ssam_request_sync(). While this is valid C, there are some downsides to
it.

One of these is that current Sphinx versions (>= 3.0) cannot
disambiguate between the two (see disucssion and pull request linked
below). It instead emits a "WARNING: Duplicate C declaration" and links
for the struct and function in the resulting documentation link to the
same entry (i.e. both to either function or struct documentation)
instead of their respective own entries.

While we could just ignore that and wait for a fix, there's also a point
to be made that the current naming can be somewhat confusing when
searching (e.g. via grep) or trying to understand the levels of
abstraction at play:

We currently have struct ssam_request_sync and associated functions
ssam_request_sync_[alloc|free|init|wait|...]() operating on this struct.
However, function ssam_request_sync() is one abstraction level above
this. Similarly, ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() is not a function
operating on struct ssam_request_sync, but rather a sibling to
ssam_request_sync(), both using the struct under the hood.

Therefore, rename the top level request functions:

ssam_request_sync() -> ssam_request_do_sync()
ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() -> ssam_request_do_sync_with_buffer()
ssam_request_sync_onstack() -> ssam_request_do_sync_onstack()

platform/surface: aggregator_cdev: Allow enabling of events from user-space

While events can already be enabled and disabled via the generic request
IOCTL, this bypasses the internal reference counting mechanism of the
controller. Due to that, disabling an event will turn it off regardless
of any other client having requested said event, which may break
functionality of that client.

To solve this, add IOCTLs wrapping the ssam_controller_event_enable()
and ssam_controller_event_disable() functions, which have been
previously introduced for this specific purpose.

platform/surface: aggregator_cdev: Add support for forwarding events to user-space

Currently, debugging unknown events requires writing a custom driver.
This is somewhat difficult, slow to adapt, and not entirely
user-friendly for quickly trying to figure out things on devices of some
third-party user. We can do better. We already have a user-space
interface intended for debugging SAM EC requests, so let's add support
for receiving events to that.

This commit provides support for receiving events by reading from the
controller file. It additionally introduces two new IOCTLs to control
which event categories will be forwarded. Specifically, a user-space
client can specify which target categories it wants to receive events
from by registering the corresponding notifier(s) via the IOCTLs and
after that, read the received events by reading from the controller
device.

platform/surface: aggregator_cdev: Add comments regarding unchecked allocation size

CI static analysis complains about the allocation size in payload and
response buffers being unchecked. In general, these allocations should
be safe as the user-input is u16 and thus limited to U16_MAX, which is
only slightly larger than the theoretical maximum imposed by the
underlying SSH protocol.

All bounds on these values required by the underlying protocol are
enforced in ssam_request_sync() (or rather the functions called by it),
thus bounds here are only relevant for allocation.

Add comments explaining that this should be safe.

platform/surface: aggregator_cdev: Fix access of uninitialized variables

When copy_struct_from_user() in ssam_cdev_request() fails, we directly
jump to the 'out' label. In this case, however 'spec' and 'rsp' are not
initialized, but we still access fields of those variables. Fix this by
initializing them at the time of their declaration.

platform/surface: Add Surface Aggregator user-space interface

Add a misc-device providing user-space access to the Surface Aggregator
EC, mainly intended for debugging, testing, and reverse-engineering.
This interface gives user-space applications the ability to send
requests to the EC and receive the corresponding responses.

The device-file is managed by a pseudo platform-device and corresponding
driver to avoid dependence on the dedicated bus, allowing it to be
loaded in a minimal configuration.

A python library and scripts to access this device can be found at [1].
