[PATCH 2/2] firmware: arm_ffa: Split bus and driver into distinct modules

Make the FF-A bus on its own as a distinct module initialized at
subsys_initcall level when builtin.

Keep the FF-A driver core stack, together with any configured transport,
in a different module initialized as module_init level.

FF-A drivers initialization is now changed to module_init level.

Hi Sebastian,

I reworked the patch I shared with you in private to include handling of
the FF-A v1.0 workaround I had removed as a quick hack when I shared the
patch. Please check if these couple of patches help you in the initcall
order issue you were facing.

Regards,
Sudeep
