The tracepoints can help with understanding the system behavior of a
given interconnect path when the consumer drivers change their bandwidth
demands. This might be interesting when we want to monitor the requested
interconnect bandwidth for each client driver. The paths may share the
same nodes and this will help to understand "who and when is requesting
what". All this is useful for subsystem drivers developers and may also
provide hints when optimizing the power and performance profile of the
system.

This patch introduces a new API to get requirements and configure the
interconnect buses across the entire chipset to fit with the current
demand.
The API is using a consumer/provider-based model, where the providers are
the interconnect buses and the consumers could be various drivers.
The consumers request interconnect resources (path) between endpoints and
set the desired constraints on this data flow path. The providers receive
requests from consumers and aggregate these requests for all master-slave
pairs on that path. Then the providers configure each node along the path
to support a bandwidth that satisfies all bandwidth requests that cross
through that node. The topology could be complicated and multi-tiered and
is SoC specific.
