Storage abstraction layer
-------------------------
In order to improve platform independence and portability an storage abstraction
layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage.
In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.
Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the Storage layer.
These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader phases as
required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions. Currently
storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases. The ``load_image()``
function uses the storage layer to access non-volatile platform storage.

Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.

The basic operations supported by the layer

Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
