opal-msg: Enhance opal-get-msg API
Linux uses opal_get_msg (OPAL_GET_MSG) API to get OPAL messages. This interface
supports upto 8 params (64 bytes). We have a requirement to send bigger data to
Linux. This patch enhances OPAL to send bigger data to Linux.
- Linux will use "opal-msg-size" device tree property to allocate memory for
OPAL messages (previous patch increased "opal-msg-size" to 64K).
- Replaced `reserved` field in "struct opal_msg" with `size`. So that Linux
side opal_get_msg user can detect actual data size.
- If buffer size < actual message size, then opal_get_msg will copy partial
data and return OPAL_PARTIAL to Linux.
- Add new variable "extended" to "opal_msg_entry" structure to keep track
of messages that has more than 64byte data. We will allocate separate
memory for these messages and once kernel consumes message we will
release that memory.
