[PATCH 8/9] ARM: rockchip: pass device tree to TF-A

The upstream OP-TEE expects a device tree to be able to initialize the
dynamic shared memory. Therefore, barebox should pass a device tree that
contains memory nodes through the TF-A to OP-TEE.

Unfortunately, the downstream TF-A fails to start if barebox passes its
device tree and it is not possible to detect if the loaded TF-A is able
to handle the device tree. Add a config option to pass the device tree
if it is possible.
