    ARM plat: add build option to unlock access to non-secure timer · 0e5dcdd2
    Juan Castillo authored
    Currently, Trusted Firmware on ARM platforms unlocks access to the
    timer frame registers that will be used by the Non-Secure world. This
    unlock operation should be done by the Non-Secure software itself,
    instead of relying on secure firmware settings.
    
    This patch adds a new ARM specific build option 'ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR'
    to unlock access to the timer frame by setting the corresponding
    bits in the CNTACR<N> register. The frame id <N> is defined by
    'PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID'. Default value is true (unlock timer
    access).
    
    Documentation updated accordingly.
    
    Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#170
