Add NULL pointer check before reading BL32 entry point information
BL2 is responsible for loading BL32 and passing a pointer to the BL32 entrypoint info to BL31 in the BL31 parameters. If no BL32 image is loaded, a NULL pointer is passed. The platform is responsible for accessing BL31 parameters and extracting the corresponding BL32 EP info. In ARM platforms, arm_bl31_early_platform_setup() dereferences the pointer to the BL32 EP info without checking first if the pointer is NULL. This will cause an exception if a BL32 entrypoint has not been populated by BL2. FVP and Juno are not affected because they always define BL32_BASE, irrespective of whether a BL32 image is included in the FIP or not. This patches fixes the issue by checking the BL32 ep_info pointer before trying to access the data. If `RESET_TO_BL31` is enabled, the BL32 entrypoint is not populated if BL32_BASE is not defined. NOTE: Maintainers of partner platforms should check for this issue in their ports. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#320 Change-Id: I31456155503f2765766e8b7cd30ab4a40958fb96
