Add the driver implementing Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A v1.0

The Firmware Framework for Arm A-profile processors (FF-A)
describes interfaces (ABIs) that standardize communication
between the Secure World and Normal World leveraging TrustZone
technology.

This driver uses 64-bit registers as per SMCCCv1.2 spec and comes
on top of the SMCCC layer. The driver provides the FF-A ABIs needed for
querying the FF-A framework from the secure world.

32-bit version of the ABIs is supported and 64-bit version of FFA_RXTX_MAP
and FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_{REQ, RESP}.

In u-boot FF-A design, FF-A is considered as a discoverable bus.
The Secure World is considered as one entity to communicate with
using the FF-A bus. FF-A communication is handled by one device and
one instance (the bus). This FF-A driver takes care of all the
interactions between Normal world and Secure World.

The driver exports its operations to be used by upper layers.

Exported operations:

- partition_info_get
- sync_send_receive
- rxtx_unmap

This implementation provides an optional feature to copy the driver data
to EFI runtime area.

+ *     @parts_size: pointer to the variable that contains the number of 
partitions
+ *                      The variable will be set by the driver
+ *     @buffer: NULL
+ *
+ * Mode 2: When requesting the driver to return the
+ *     partitions information:
+ *     @uuid_str: pointer to the UUID string
+ *     @parts_size: pointer to the size of the SPs information buffer in bytes
+ *     @buffer: pointer to SPs information buffer
+ *             (allocated by the client).
+ *             The buffer will be filled by the driver
+ *
+ * This is the boot time function that queries the secure partition data from
+ * the private data structure. If not found, it invokes FFA_PARTITION_INFO_GET
+ * FF-A function to query the partition information from secure world.
+ *
+ * A client of the FF-A driver should know the UUID of the service it wants to
+ * access. It should use the UUID to request the FF-A driver to provide the
+ * partition(s) information of the service. The FF-A driver uses
+ * PARTITION_INFO_GET to obtain this information. This is implemented through
+ * ffa_get_partitions_info function.
+ * A new FFA_PARTITION_INFO_GET call is issued (first one performed through
+ * ffa_cache_partitions_info) allowing to retrieve the partition(s) 
information.
+ * They are not saved (already done). We only update the UUID in the cached 
area.
+ * This assumes that partitions data does not change in the secure world.
+ * Otherwise u-boot will have an outdated partition data. The benefit of 
caching
+ * the information in the FF-A driver is to accommodate discovery after
+ * ExitBootServices().
+ *
+ * When invoked through a client request, ffa_get_partitions_info should be
+ * called twice. First call is to get from the driver the number of secure
+ * partitions (SPs) associated to a particular UUID.
+ * Then, the caller (client) allocates the buffer to host the SPs data and
+ * issues a 2nd call. Then, the driver fills the SPs data in the pre-allocated
+ * buffer.
+ *
+ * To achieve the mechanism described above, ffa_get_partitions_info uses the
+ * following functions:
+ *             ffa_read_partitions_info
+ *             ffa_query_partitions_info
+ *
+ * Return:
+ *
+ * @parts_size: When pointing to the number of partitions variable, the number 
is
+ * set by the driver.
+ * When pointing to the partitions information buffer size, the buffer will be
+ * filled by the driver.
