[PATCH v2 11/14] ARM: optee-early: add mx6_start_optee_early helper

From: Marco Felsch <m.felsch at pengutronix.de>

Add a i.MX6 specific helper function which covers most of the steps
usually done within the board lowlevel code. All new i.MX6 boards are
encouraged to use this helper to load OP-TEE since the helper validates
that the TZC380 is enabled and setup the TZC380 region properly.
