This patch set depends on another series: "[PATCH v3 00/14] Support Firmware Handoff spec via bloblist".
This patch set implements Qemu-Arm platform custom functions to retrieve the bloblist (aka. Transfer List) from previous loader via boot arguments when CONFIG_OF_BOARD option is enabled and all boot arguments are compliant to the register conventions defined in the Firmware Handoff spec v0.9. Qemu-Arm platform custom function will load the FDT from the bloblist if it exists. Otherwise it fallbacks to get the FDT from the specified memory address. If a platform vendor wish to have different behaviors for loading bloblist or FDT from the previous boot stage, it is required to implement the custom functions board_bloblist_from_boot_arg() and board_fdt_blob_setup().
