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.

With the incoming support for the Raspberry Pi 4 boards, one directory
to serve both versions will not end up well.

Create an additional layer by inserting a "rpi" directory betweeen /plat
and rpi3, so that we can more easily share or separate files between the
two later.

The definitions in bl1/bl1_private.h and bl2/bl2_private.h are useful for
platforms that may need to access them.

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.

Implement VideoCore mailbox interface driver and use it to get the board
revision identifier.

For now it is only used to print the model for debug purposes.

This wiki contains the documentation of the mailbox interface:

Switch to the new console APIs enabled by setting MULTI_CONSOLE_API=1.

The crash console doesn't use this API, it uses internally the core
functions of the 16550 console.

`bl31_plat_runtime_setup` is no longer needed. When this platform port
was introduced, that function used to disable the console. It was needed
to override that behaviour. The new behaviour is to switch to the
runtime console. The console is registered for all scopes (boot, crash
and runtime) in `rpi3_console_init` so it is not needed to override the
default behaviour anymore.

Update documentation.

This port can be compiled to boot an AArch64 or AArch32 payload with the
build option `RPI3_BL33_AARCH32`.

Note: This is not a secure port of the Trusted Firmware. This port is
only meant to be a reference implementation to experiment with an
inexpensive board in real hardware.
