[PATCH v4 1/7] dt-bindings: Arm: Add Firmware Framework for Armv8-A (FF-A) binding

[Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>]

Since the FF-A v1.0 specification doesn't list the UUID of all the
partitions in the discovery API, we need to specify the UUID of the
partitions that need to be accessed by drivers within the kernel.

This binding to provide the list of partitions that kernel drivers
may need to access.

Hi Rob,

Sorry to send the same version again just to keep the driver review progress.
I am still exploring on how to add "format: uuid" support in the dt-schemas.
I am seeing errors as format is used in some of the audio/video DT bindings.
I get errors for all those files, may be I need to use $format, initial
trial to do that also failed.

Regarding other comment, I had replied earlier[1] as why we need to keep
separate DT nodes for each partitions.
