Rework use of ARM GIC drivers on ARM platforms
Suport for ARM GIC v2.0 and v3.0 drivers has been reworked to create three separate drivers instead of providing a single driver that can work on both versions of the GIC architecture. These drivers correspond to the following software use cases: 1. A GICv2 only driver that can run only on ARM GIC v2.0 implementations e.g. GIC-400 2. A GICv3 only driver that can run only on ARM GIC v3.0 implementations e.g. GIC-500 in a mode where all interrupt regimes use GICv3 features 3. A deprecated GICv3 driver that operates in legacy mode. This driver can operate only in the GICv2 mode in the secure world. On a GICv3 system, this driver allows normal world to run in either GICv3 mode (asymmetric mode) or in the GICv2 mode. Both modes of operation are deprecated on GICv3 systems. ARM platforms implement both versions of the GIC architecture. This patch adds a layer of abstraction to help ARM platform ports chose the right GIC driver and correspondin...
