Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] firmware: Add initial support for Arm FF-A

Hi all,

This is very basic implementation for in-kernel support for Arm FF-A
specification.

iArm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A specification[1] describes a software
architecture that provides mechanism to utilise the virtualization
extension to isolate software images and describes interfaces that
standardize communication between the various software images. This
includes communication between images in the Secure and Normal world.

The main idea here is to create FFA device to establish any communication
with a secure partition. This is currently tested with OPTEE(with changes
to OPTEE driver adding FFA as transport)

The series can be fetched from [2]

v3->v4:
	- Added support to allow partitions to set 32bit only mode
	- Addressed all the comments from Jens Wiklander

v2->v3:
	- Dropped hypervisor partitions and userspace support as it is
	  no longer in the list of requirements
	- Moved away from ioctl style interface for in-kernel users as
	  there is no need to keep in sync with userspace anymore
	- Some kerneldoc fixes as pointed out in earlier reviews

v1->v2:
	- Moved userspace code to a separate unit, will move to separate
	  module. Still working on minimizing initcall dependencies and
	  exported functions to reuse some of the code.
	- Fixed couple of minor issues pointed out
	- Dropped ASYNC send message as I haven't been able to test
