TX FIFO has space for 32 characters. With default UART baudrate 115200 it
takes more than 2ms to transmit all 32 characters, so wait at least 3ms
before flushing TX FIFO.

If WTMI firmware transmitted something via UART before TF-A was booted,
some characters may still wait in TX FIFO when TF-A is initializing UART
driver. So wait at least 3ms to ensure that HW has enough time to transmit
all characters waiting in TX FIFO.

This fixes an issue where sometimes characters transmitted on UART by our
custom WTMI image are lost.

Console initialization function needs to wait at least minimal specified
time. The fastest Armada 3720 CPU is 1200 MHz so increase loop delay to
wait at least for 100 us on 1200 MHz variant too. The slowest Armada 3720
CPU is 600 MHz and in this case delay loop would take just 2 times more,
which is not a problem.

The delay loop executes 3 instructions. These 3 instructions are executed
in 2 processor ticks and 30000 iterations on a 600 MHz CPU should yield
approximately 100 us. This means we are waiting 2 ms, not 20 ms, for TX
FIFO to be empty.

This patch does not change code, it only updates comments and macro name
for 6th bit of Status Register. So TF-A binary stay same.

6th bit of the Status Register is named TX EMPTY and is set to 1 when both
Transmitter Holding Register (THR) or Transmitter Shift Register (TSR) are
empty. It is when all characters were already transmitted.

There is also TX FIFO EMPTY bit in the Status Register which is set to 1
only when THR is empty.

In both console_a3700_core_init() and console_a3700_core_flush() functions
we should wait until both THR and TSR are empty therefore we should check
6th bit of the Status Register.

So current code is correct, just had misleading macro names and comments.
This change fixes this "documentation" issue, fixes macro name for 6th bit
of the Status Register and also updates comments.

Implementation is simple, just check if there is a pending character in
RX FIFO via RXRDY bit of Status Register and if yes, read it from
UART_RX_REG register.

Implementation is simple, just wait for the TX FIFO to be empty.

Without this patch TF-A on A3720 truncate the last line:

  NOTICE:  BL31: Built : 16:1

With this patch TF-A on A3720 print correctly also the last line:

And from crash_console_flush.

We ignore the error information return by console_flush in _every_
place where we call it, and casting the return type to void does not
work around the MISRA violation that this causes. Instead, we collect
the error information from the driver (to avoid changing that API), and
don't return it to the caller.

Since now the generic console_t structure holds the UART base address as
well, let's use that generic location and drop the UART driver specific
data structure at all.

The old version of the macro is deprecated.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

All identifiers, regardless of use, that start with two underscores are
reserved. This means they can't be used in header guards.

The style that this project is now to use the full name of the file in
capital letters followed by 'H'. For example, for a file called
"uart_example.h", the header guard is UART_EXAMPLE_H.

The exceptions are files that are imported from other projects:

- CryptoCell driver
- dt-bindings folders
- zlib headers
