    Unify type of "cpu_idx" across PSCI module. · 5b33ad17

    NOTE for platform integrators:
       API `plat_psci_stat_get_residency()` third argument
       `last_cpu_idx` is changed from "signed int" to the
       "unsigned int" type.
    
    Issue / Trouble points
    1. cpu_idx is used as mix of `unsigned int` and `signed int` in code
    with typecasting at some places leading to coverity issues.
    
    2. Underlying platform API's return cpu_idx as `unsigned int`
    and comparison is performed with platform specific defines
    `PLAFORM_xxx` which is not consistent
    
    Misra Rule 10.4:
    The value of a complex expression of integer type may only be cast to
    a type that is narrower and of the same signedness as the underlying
    type of the expression.
    
    Based on above points, cpu_idx is kept as `unsigned int` to match
    the API's and low-level functions and platform defines are updated
    where ever required
