[PATCH 0/4] firmware: arm_scmi: Add xfer inflight debug and trace

From: Philip Radford

Hi all,

This series adds a new counter to the Arm SCMI firmware driver to track
the number of in-flight message transfers during debug and trace. This
will be useful for examining behaviour under a large load with regards
to concurrent messages being sent and received. As the counter only gives
a live value, printing the value in trace allows logging of the in-flight
xfers.

The series is divided into four small patches:
Patch [1/4]
- Adds a fuction to decrement debug counters, similar to the existing
counter to increment debug counters
Patch [2/4]
- Adds a new xfers_inflight debug counter to track active transfers
Patch [3/4]
- Enhances two tracepoints (scmi_xfer_begin and scmi_xfer_end) to
include the number of in-flight transfers, setting default values
of 0
Patch [4/4]
- Adds a function (scmi_inflight_count) that retrieves the current
in-flight count for use in tracing

Based on v6.16-rc2

Regards,
Phil
