This patch fixes this issue: https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660 The introduced changes are the following: 1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and compilation errors are generated, if needed. 2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e. cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the libraries only of the relevant cores. 3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.
