The plat_helpers.S file was almost identical between its RPi3 and RPi4
versions. Unify the two files, moving it into the common/ directory.

This adds a plat_rpi_get_model() function, which can be used to trigger
RPi4 specific action, detected at runtime. We use that to do the RPi4
specific L2 cache initialisation.

The Raspberry Pi has two different UART devices pin-muxed to GPIO 14&15:
One ARM PL011 one and the 8250 compatible "Mini-UART".
A dtoverlay parameter in config.txt will tell the firmware to switch
between the two: it will setup the right clocks and will configure the
pinmuxes accordingly.

To autodetect the user's choice, we read the pinmux register and check
its setting: ALT5 (0x2) means the Mini-UART is used, ALT0 (0x4) points
to the PL011.
Based on that we select the UART driver to initialise.

This will allow console output in any case.

So far the Raspberry Pi 3 build needs the GPIO driver just for BL2.
Upcoming changes will require some GPIO code in BL1 and BL31 also, so
move those driver files into the common source section.

This does not affect BL31 code size at all, and bl1.bin just increases
by 144 bytes, but doesn't affect the padded binary size at all.

The Broadcom 283x SoCs feature multiple UARTs: the mostly used
"Mini-UART", which is an 8250 compatible IP, and at least one PL011.
While the 8250 is usually used for serial console purposes, it suffers
from a design flaw, where its clock depends on the VPU clock, which can
change at runtime. This will reliably mess up the baud rate.
To avoid this problem, people might choose to use the PL011 UART for
the serial console, which is pin-mux'ed to the very same GPIO pins.
This can be done by adding "miniuart-bt" to the "dtoverlay=" line in
config.txt.

To prepare for this situation, use the newly gained freedom of sharing
one console_t pointer across different UART drivers, to introduce the
option of choosing the PL011 for the console.

This is for now hard-coded to choose the Mini-UART by default.
A follow-up patch will introduce automatic detection.

In the wake of the upcoming unification of the console setup code
between RPi3 and RPi4, extend the "clock-less" setup scheme to the
RPi3. This avoid programming any clocks or baud rate registers,
which makes the port more robust against GPU firmware changes.

There is really no reason to use and pass around a struct when its only
member is the (fixed) base address.

Remove the struct and just use the base address on its own inside the
GPIO driver. Then set the base address automatically.

This simplifies GPIO setup for users, which now don't need to deal with
zeroing a struct and setting the base address anymore.

So far we have seen two different clock setups for the Raspberry Pi 4
board, with the VPU clock divider being different. This was handled by
reading the divider register and adjusting the base clock rate
accordingly.
Recently a new GPU firmware version appeared that changed the clock rate
*again*, though this time at a higher level, so the VPU rate (and the
apparent PLLC parent clock) did not seem to change, judging by reading
the clock registers.
So rather than playing cat and mouse with the GPU firmware or going
further down the rabbit hole of exploring the whole clock tree, let's
just skip the baud rate programming altogether. This works because the
GPU firmware actually sets up and programs the debug UART already, so
we can just use it.

Pass 0 as the base clock rate to let the console driver skip the setup,
also remove the no longer needed clock code.

The hooks were populated but the power down left the CPU in limbo-land.
What we need to do - until there is a way to actually power off - is to
turn off the MMU and enter the spinning loop as if we were cold-booted.
This allows the on-call to pick up the CPU again.

Add the location of the Mini UART in that property, so that DT users are

For being able to use the virtualisation support the GIC offers, we need
to know the interrupt number of the maintenance interrupt. This
information is missing from the official RPi4 device tree.

Use libfdt to add the "interrupts" property to the GIC node, which
allows hypervisors like KVM or Xen to be able to use the GIC's help on
virtualising interrupts.

Now that we have the SMP pens in the first page of DRAM, we can get rid
of all the fancy RPi3 memory regions that our RPi4 port does not really
need. This avoids using up memory all over the place, restricting ATF
to just run in the first 512KB of DRAM.

Remove the now unused regions. This also moves the SMP pens into our
first memory page (holding the firmware magic), where the original
firmware put them, but where there is also enough space for them.

Since the pens will require code execution privileges, we amend the
memory attributes used for that page to include write and execution
rights.

The GPU firmware loads the armstub8.bin (BL31) image at address 0, the
beginning of DRAM. As this holds the resident PSCI code and the SMP
pens, the non-secure world should better know about this, to avoid
accessing memory owned by TF-A. This is particularly criticial as the
Raspberry Pi 4 does not feature a secure memory controller, so
overwriting code is a very real danger.

Use the newly introduced function to add a node into reserved-memory
node, where non-secure world can check for regions to be excluded from
its mappings.

Reserve the first 512KB of memory for now. We can refine this later if
need be.

The device tree provided by the official Raspberry Pi firmware uses
spin tables for SMP bringup.

One of the benefit of having TF-A is that it provides PSCI services, so
let's rewrite the DTB to advertise PSCI instead of spin tables.
This uses the (newly exported) routine from the QEMU platform port.

Now that we have the armstub magic value in place, the GPU firmware will
write the kernel load address (and DTB address) into our special page,
so we can always easily access the actual location without hardcoding
any addresses into the BL31 image.

Make the compile-time defined PRELOADED_BL33_BASE macro optional, and
read the BL33 entry point from the magic location, if the macro was not
defined. We do the same for the DTB address.

This also splits the currently "common" definition of
plat_get_ns_image_entrypoint() to be separate between RPi3 and RPi4.

The Raspberry Pi GPU firmware checks for a magic value at offset 240
(0xf0) of the armstub8.bin image it loads. If that value matches,
it writes the kernel load address and the DTB address into subsequent
memory locations.
We can use these addresses to avoid hardcoding these values into the BL31
image, to make it more flexible and a drop-in replacement for the
official armstub8.bin.

Reserving just 16 bytes at offset 240 of the final image file is not easily
possible, though, as this location is in the middle of the generic BL31
entry point code.
However we can prepend an extra section before the actual BL31 image, to
contain the magic and addresses. This needs to be 4KB, because the
actual BL31 entry point needs to be page aligned.

Use the platform linker script hook that the generic code provides, to
add an almost empty 4KB code block before the entry point code. The very
first word contains a branch instruction to jump over this page, into
the actual entry code.
This also gives us plenty of room for the SMP pens later.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is a single board computer with four Cortex-A72
cores. From a TF-A perspective it is quite similar to the Raspberry Pi
3, although it comes with more memory (up to 4GB) and has a GIC.

This initial port though differs quite a lot from the existing rpi3
platform port, mainly due to taking a much simpler and more robust
approach to loading the non-secure payload:
The GPU firmware of the SoC, which is responsible for initial platform
setup (including DRAM initialisation), already loads the kernel, device
tree and the "armstub" into DRAM. We take advantage of this, by placing
just a BL31 component into the armstub8.bin component, which will be
executed first, in AArch64 EL3.
The non-secure payload can be a kernel or a boot loader (U-Boot or
EDK-2), disguised as the "kernel" image and loaded by the GPU firmware.

So this is just a BL31-only port, which directly drops into EL2
and executes whatever has been loaded as the "kernel" image, handing
over the DTB address in x0.

At the moment the UART input clock rate is hard coded at compile time.
This works as long as the GPU firmware always sets up the same rate,
which does not seem to be true for the Raspberry Pi 4.

In preparation for being able to change this at runtime, add a base
clock parameter to the console setup function. This is still hardcoded
for the Raspberry Pi 3.

To initialise the arch timer configuration and some clock prescaler, we
need to do two MMIO access *once*, early during boot.

As tempting as it may sound, plat_reset_handler() is not the right place
to do this, as it will be called on every CPU coming up, both for
secondary cores as well as during warmboots. So this access will be done
multiple times, and even during a rich OS' runtime. Whether doing so anyway
is actually harmful is hard to say, but we should definitely avoid this if
possible.

Move the initialisation of these registers to C code in
bl1_early_platform_setup(), where it will still be executed early enough
(before enabling the console), but only once during the whole boot
process.
