[PATCH v2 2/9] dt-bindings: Arm: Extend FF-A binding to support in-kernel usage of partitions

Since the FF-A v1.0 specification doesn't list the UUID of all the
partitions in the discovery API, we need to specify the UUID of the
partitions that need to be accessed by drivers within the kernel.

This extends the binding to provide the list of partitions that kernel
drivers may need to access and are not part of the partitions managed
by the hypervisor.

Hi,

I struggled to keep both these(arm,ffa and arm,ffa-hyp) in the single yaml
file. I couldn't understand the errors and couldn't find an example that
has something similar. I will continue to explore, just posting as separate
for now to continue discussions.

Regards,
Sudeep
