[PATCH v12 7/7] coco: guest: arm64: Replace dummy CCA device with sysfs ABI

[Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm)]

The SMCCC firmware driver now creates the arm_smccc bus and instantiates
the CCA RSI device once the RSI ABI is discovered. The arm64-specific
arm-cca-dev platform device stub is therefore no longer needed.

However, userspace has used the arm-cca-dev platform device to detect Arm
CCA Realm guests [1]. Removing it without a replacement would break that
detection and would also leave userspace depending on kernel device-model
details.

Add /sys/firmware/cca/realm_guest as a stable ABI for detecting whether
the kernel is running as an Arm CCA Realm guest. Create the file only in
Realm world, where it reads 1.

Remove the dummy arm-cca-dev registration now that userspace has a
dedicated CCA Realm guest indicator, and document the new ABI in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-cca.
