    Introduce the ARM TF reset design document · c2f0260c
    Sandrine Bailleux authored
    This patch introduces a new document presenting the ARM Trusted
    Firmware Reset Design. It shows the reset code flow, lists the
    different build options that affect it, in which case to use them
    and what their exact effect is.
    
    The section about using BL31 entrypoint as the reset address has
    been moved from the general firmware design document to this one.
    It's also been improved to explain why the FVP port supports the
    RESET_TO_BL31 configuration, even though the reset vector address
    can't be programmed dynamically.
    
    This document includes some images, which have been generated using
    Dia version 0.97.2. This tool can be obtained from:
    https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia/Download
    This patch provides:
     - the image files describing the different reset flow diagrams;
     - the source '.dia' file;
     - a script automating the generation of the images from the '.dia'
       file.
    Note that the 2 latter files are not actually needed for the document
    and are provided for convenience only, in case the reset images need
    to be modified.
