In Arm platforms, when using dynamic configuration, the necessary
parameters are made available as a DTB. The DTB is loaded by BL1 and,
later on, is parsed by BL1, BL2 or even both, depending on when
information from the DTB is needed.

When the DTB is going to be parsed, it must be validated first, to
ensure that it is properly structured. If an invalid DTB is detected
then:
  - BL1 prints a diagnostic but allows execution to continue,
  - BL2 prints a diagnostic and panics.

Now the behaviour of BL1 is changed so for it also to panic. Thus, the
behaviour of BL1 and BL2 is now similar.

Keep in mind that if BL1 only loads the DTB but it doesn't need to
read/write it, then it doesn't validate it. The validation is done only
when the DTB is actually going to be accessed.

The patch changes the layout of BL images in memory to enable
more efficient use of available space. Previously BL31 was loaded
with the expectation that BL2 memory would be reclaimed by BL32
loaded in SRAM. But with increasing memory requirements in the
firmware, we can no longer fit BL32 in SRAM anymore which means the
BL2 memory is not reclaimed by any runtime image. Positioning BL2
below BL1-RW and above BL31 means that the BL31 NOBITS can be
overlaid on BL2 and BL1-RW.

This patch also propogates the same memory layout to BL32 for AArch32
mode. The reset addresses for the following configurations are also
changed :
   * When RESET_TO_SP_MIN=1 for BL32 in AArch32 mode
   * When BL2_AT_EL3=1 for BL2

The restriction on BL31 to be only in DRAM when SPM is enabled
is now removed with this change. The update to the firmware design
guide for the BL memory layout is done in the following patch.

This patch adds soc_fw_config, tos_fw_config and nt_fw_config to the FVP.
The config files are placeholders and do not have any useful bindings
defined. The tos_fw_config is packaged in FIP and loaded by BL2 only
if SPD=tspd. The load address of these configs are specified in tb_fw_config
via new bindings defined for these configs. Currently, in FVP, the
soc_fw_config and tos_fw_config is loaded in the page between BL2_BASE
and ARM_SHARED_RAM. This memory was typically used for BL32 when
ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION=tsram but since we cannot fit BL32 in that
space anymore, it should be safe to use this memory for these configs.
There is also a runtime check in arm_bl2_dyn_cfg_init() which ensures
that this overlap doesn't happen.

The previous arm_dyn_get_hwconfig_info() is modified to accept configs
other than hw_config and hence renamed to arm_dyn_get_config_load_info().
The patch also corrects the definition of ARM_TB_FW_CONFIG_LIMIT to be
BL2_BASE.

This patch adds capability to FVP to disable authentication dynamically
via the `disable_auth` property in TB_FW_CONFIG. Both BL1 and BL2 parses
the TB_FW_CONFIG for the `disable_auth` property and invokes the
`load_dyn_disable_auth()` API to disable authentication if the
property is set to 1. The DYN_DISABLE_AUTH is enabled by default for
FVP as it is a development platform. Note that the TB_FW_CONFIG has to
be authenticated by BL1 irrespective of these settings.

The arm_bl2_dyn_cfg_init() is now earlier in bl2_plat_preload_setup()
rather than in bl2_platform_setup() as we need to get the value of
`disable_auth` property prior to authentication of any image by BL2.

The patch adds the necessary changes to load HW_CONFIG in BL2 for
ARM Platforms :

1. The load address of HW_CONFIG is specified via the `hw_config_addr`
property in TB_FW_CONFIG is loaded by BL1. The `hw_config_max_size`
property defines the maximum size to be expected for the HW_CONFIG.
The `arm_dyn_cfg_helpers.c` and corresponding header implements
utility functions to parse these DT properties defined.
The `arm_dyn_cfg.c` implements wrappers to these helpers to enable
them to be invoked from ARM platform layer.

2. `HW_CONFIG` is added to the `bl2_mem_params_descs[]` array which is
the list of images to be loaded by BL2.

3. The `libfdt` sources are now included when BL2 is built

4. A new helper `populate_next_bl_params_config()` is introduced in
desc_image_load.c to populate the subsequent executable BL images
with the `hw_config` and the corresponding `fw_config` if available.
The `plat_get_next_bl_params()` API for ARM platforms is modified to
invoke this new helper.

5. The implementation of `bl2_early_platform_setup2()` is modified to
consider `arg0` as well in addition to `arg1` passed from BL1.

6. Bump up the BL2 size for Juno to accommodate the inclusion of libfdt.

This patch modifies the bl1_platform_setup() API to load and authenticate
TB_FW_CONFIG in BL1. The load address of the same is passed on to BL2 in
`arg0` of entrypoint info. The fvp_io_storage.c and arm_io_storage.c also
adds entries corresponding to TB_FW_CONFIG. A helper function
`arm_load_tb_fw_config()` is added to load and authenticate TB_FW_CONFIG
if present.
