[PATCH 0/6] Add FF-A support in OP-TEE driver

Hi all,

This adds supports for the OP-TEE driver to communicate with secure world
using FF-A [1] as transport.

These patches are based on the FF-A v4 patch set by Sudeep Holla [2] [3].

There is one change to the TEE subsystem with "tee: add sec_world_id to
struct tee_shm" to add support for holding globally unique handle assigned
by the FF-A. This is a field that I believe could useful for the AMDTEE
driver too.

For communication the OP-TEE message protocol is still used, but with a new
type of memory reference, struct optee_msg_param_fmem, to carry the
information needed by FF-A. The OP-TEE driver is refactored internally with
to sets of callbacks, one for the old SMC based communication and another
set with FF-A as transport.

There is also a difference in how the drivers are instantiated. With the
SMC based transport we have a platform driver, module_platform_driver(),
today which we're keeping as is for this configuration. In a FF-A system we
have a FF-A driver, module_ffa_driver(), instead.

The OP-TEE driver can be compiled for both targets at the same time and
it's up to runtime configuration (device tree or ACPI) to decide how it's
initialized.

Thanks,
Jens
