[PATCH v2 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.
OP-TEE may modify the passed fdt. Thus, barebox copies the fdt from the
fixed size rodata area to the rk_scratch area and allocates a
configurable memory area for the fdt to allow fdt modification.
OP-TEE has the CFG_DTB_MAX_SIZE config option for the maximum size of
the fdt. barebox must reserve at least that much memory for the fdt to
avoid out of bounds accesses from 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.

Changes in v2:
- pass copy of fdt in scratch space to TF-A
- add config option for fdt size
- add documentation for CONFIG_ARCH_ROCKCHIP_ATF_PASS_FDT
