Many PCI controllers provided Endpoint functions.
Generally PCI endpoint is hardware, which is not running a rich OS,
like linux.

But Linux also supports endpoint functions.  PCI Host write BAR<n> space
like write to memory. The EP side can't know memory changed by the Host
driver. 

PCI Spec has not defined a standard method to do that.  Only define
MSI(x) to let EP notified RC status change. 

The basic idea is to trigger an IRQ when PCI RC writes to a memory
address. That's what MSI controller provided.  EP drivers just need to
request a platform MSI interrupt, struct MSI_msg *msg will pass down a
memory address and data.  EP driver will map such memory address to
one of PCI BAR<n>.  Host just writes such an address to trigger EP side
IRQ.

If system have gic-its, only need update PCI EP side driver. But i.MX
have not chip support gic-its yet. So we have to use MU to simulate a
MSI controller. Although only 4 MSI IRQs are simulated, it matched
vntb(pci-epf-vntb) network requirement.

After enable MSI, ping delay reduce < 1ms from ~8ms

IRQchip: imx mu worked as MSI controller: 
     let imx mu worked as MSI controllers. Although IP is not design
as MSI controller, we still can use it if limited IRQ number to 4.

pcie: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: add endpoint MSI support
	 Based on ntb-next branch. https://github.com/jonmason/ntb/commits/ntb-next
	 Using MSI as door bell registers
	 This patch is totally independent on previous on. It can be
applied to ntb-next seperately.

i.MX EP function driver is upstreaming by Richard Zhu.
Some dts change missed at this patches. below is reference dts change

  Fine tuning commit message

- Change from v3 to v4
  Fixed dt-binding document according to Krzysztof Kozlowski's feedback
  Fixed irqchip-imx-mu-worked-as-msi-controller according to Marc Zyngier's
        comments.

	There are still two important points, which I am not sure.
	1. clean irq_set_affinity after platform_msi_create_irq_domain.
	   Some function, like platform_msi_write_msg() is static.
	   so I have to set MSI_FLAG_USE_DEF_CHIP_OPS flags, which will
	   set irq_set_affinity to default one.
	2. about comments

	> +	msi_data->msi_domain = platform_msi_create_irq_domain(
	> +				of_node_to_fwnode(msi_data->pdev->dev.of_node),
	> +				&imx_mu_msi_domain_info,
	> +				msi_data->parent);

	"And you don't get an error due to the fact that you use the same
	fwnode for both domains without overriding the domain bus token?"

 	I did not understand yet. 

  Fixed static check warning, reported by Dan Carpenter
