[PATCH v3 0/7] firmware: Add initial support for Arm FF-A

[Sudeep Holla]

Hi all,

This is just initial implementation to check on the idea of providing
in-kernel support for Arm FF-A specification. Complete driver support
is still work in progress, I am posting to early feedback and merge
basic support ASAP.

Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A specification[1] describes a software
architecture that provides mechanism to utilise the virtualization
extension to isolate software images and describes interfaces that
standardize communication between the various software images. This
includes communication between images in the Secure and Normal world.

The main idea here is to create FFA device to establish any communication
with a secure partition.

v2->v3:
	- Dropped hypervisor partitions and userspace support as it is
	  no longer in the list of requirements
	- Moved away from ioctl style interface for in-kernel users as
	  there is no need to keep in sync with userspace anymore
	- Some kerneldoc fixes as pointed out in earlier reviews

v1->v2:
	- Moved userspace code to a separate unit, will move to separate
	  module. Still working on minimizing initcall dependencies and
	  exported functions to reuse some of the code.
	- Fixed couple of minor issues pointed out
	- Dropped ASYNC send message as I haven't been able to test
